Nice fish!!! Best of luck

 

[beechey]

thats not a pb well i hope not as i bought them all as babies as tangerine pearls, ive got a spotted pb

 

[Jim Curtis]

Yes it is a PB. The breeder can give them any name he wants but it's still a Pigeon Blood Discus.

 

[beechey]

really they were all yellow as babies so defo a pb then

whats the proper name for the white one?

 

[Jim Curtis]

Beechey click this link, <a href="http/www.discus-hans-usa.com/" target="_blank">http/www.discus-hans-usa.com/</a> then click stock list and find the fish that looks exactly like the one we are talking about. This is the NA website for Stendker discus who is one of the top, if not the top breeder of discus in the known universe.

Your white Discus dosent look like a white discus at all to me. It looks like an albino discus.

I dont think there actually is a totally white discus that isnt an albino. I think they would call yours a snow white or something like that. There are white butterfly discus that have coloration in the fins but white bodys and red eyes.

 

[DiscusKeeper403]

There is a bit of a blue tinge to the anal fin of that fish which points to a white diamond IMO Jim. Could also be a plain Ghost Discus.

 

[Jim Curtis]

Good call DL I didnt notice the blue. I guess we won't really know what that fish will look like color wise until it matures.

 

[beechey]

yeah its pure white with a blueish tinge on the fins and blueish eyes
ill store that website
