how do you look after them properly like what conditions do they prefer and what foods ect?
my brother is living at home with us at the moment and brought his tanks with him so one is in my room and i want to know a bit more about the little things. i know they were pretty dull looking when they came from the shop but now theyre lively and bright (and hungry!)

White clouds are not a very demanding fish. They prefer temperatures a little cooler than most tropical fish. 68F-75F (20-24C) will suit them.
They also like clean water with some flow. As far as food, they will eat most prepared flake foods as well as brine shrimp and bloodworms.

^Exactly! Bloodworms, flake, and brine shrimp are all great foods! Probably no need for a heater- only too keep temperature steady.
