Dave+Amy Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 OMG do they not have caudal fins?? - or is it just my poor vision? that's just cruel.... so how many generations would you expect to back track before they all become pure White Butterflys?

Aquatopia Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 called butterfly discus or heart discus thus the shock horror outcry, lol. http://www.angelfire.com/id/ttdiscuscenter/ I love how they call it a new strain recently developed when in fact they mean its a genetic mutation that should have been culled but some greedy git thought they'd call it something soppy sounding and try and make a quick buck. Goes in the list of undesirables along with dye injected fish, parrot cichlids and munchkin cats as far as I'm concerned. :evil: :evil: :evil: Shame they have called it that actually cos the description of what Dave + Amy describes sounds lovely.
