Hi All

Just got a couple of new discus.

I love them. But can anyone tell me if the Peppering/greyish tinge will disappear on the checkerboard below:

When I bought him he was nice and clear with none at all, I’m not saying he’s bad looking, it’s just I noticed it under his mouth especially and then noticed it really lightly over his body. If you look closely in the photos u can notice it.

I travelled down from Auckland with them and by the time I put him/her in the tank I noticed a slight peppering.

This is the other discus I got and it’s nice and bright with no peppering at all.

Will the checkerboard go back to how it was when I picked it up?

Cheers

Johnny

I'm sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong but discus especially those crossed with pigeon? do pepper if there is a darker background area in the tank to blend in with. Mine have also done it, there is a black backing on my tank. I do not know if it ever disappears.

I am certain its not caused by food as 3 of my discus are absolutely clean bodied and the other three have peppering. They all share the same diet. When I first got them they were orange and orange/white and have gradually become speckly.
