What Strain is This

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?

When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Whatever it is...it's a gorgeous Discus.... ;D

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.
