Title: What Strain is This
Post by: PaulineMi on February 04, 2013, 10:58:23 AM
This is a photo that is on NADA and I love this discus.  What strain is it (I think it shows up as White Pigeon Blood) and is it something that is readily or rarely available?  Peppering is a real possibility, right?

Why NADA chose this picture of a White Butterfuly is beyond me.  The fish belonged to me.  It is not a good example of white butterflys we have these days.  The pic must be 7 years old.  The fish has a poor shape.  It it's favor, it shows little pepper which was  hard to get back them.

That's yours?!?!!!  I think you have quite the background that I'm only beginning to realize.  I'm reading the "Simply Discus" and "Discus as a Hobby" topics daily and I found a thread where you were breeding angelfish.  If I remember correctly you even had Peruvian scalare. 

Anyway, you have a very well educated eye so you are likely way more critical of the discus in the picture than most of us would be. I only hope that my white butterfly grows up to be half that beautiful.

Awesome Liz.

I think it is beautiful too, even if not a blue ribbon winner.  I don't know how to judge like Liz does, but I do know a pretty fish when my eyes see one.  This is pretty Liz.

Give me a break, please,  The fish belonged to me.  I bought it.  I guess by the standards 7 years ago it was it good fish.  By today's standards the fish is piss poor.  Back then, Cary Strong was the White Butterfly man.

May we please change the subject?  I don't care that the fish is pictured on the NADA web site and that I owned it.  They never asked permission to use the picture of my fish.  Look at it's conformation.  The fish ain't much.
