It's not a very desirable trait for most. Some people say they like it but I don't like peppering. It's really personal taste

[jmf3460]

personally I do not like pb's. I think the reason that I don’t like them is actually because almost every one I have ever seen has peppering.

I'm not a fan of peppering at all.

I think all discus are beautiful and even peppered pancakes!
I don't think I would want a tank full of them, but one or two in an assorted tank is amazing!
I have a mango-melon-pigeon-highbred with lots of peppering and she has the fattest bulldog head you heave ever seen, she looks amazing!

what is that spring looking thing in tank?

my 1st round of Ds 2 decades ago i had those orange with peppering, they were fine, but always looked a little goofy in my planted tank with the turgs and my Jim Quarles Snakes, there are no PBs in this tank.

My PB show some peppering but I barely notice it because their color is amazing. Mostly on the marlboros. Still new to discus = in only a year this round....I keep seeing mention of bulldog head on discus, what is it? Thanks Julia

Our local stores are Asia's dumping ground for peppered rejects so I can't help but associate it with low quality. Peppering on the edges of fins can be attractive though depending on the strain and fish quality.

Here's one of mine. I don't have an issue with peppering and only found out that it was issue for some people once I got involved with this Forum.

My wife got that, it hangs on the side of the tank inside, to put cucumbers for our bristlenose plecos.

However, I should warn people, if you put cucumbers in your tank like this some Discus usually feast in it too.
My wife called them "cucumber Discus"...
Lol!

I personally don't like it. I have some that have gotten black tails and peppered, and other that haven't.

This is probably deserving a separate thread, but does anyone know how to prevent it? I have heard that it is a response to intense light (like freckling), and/or having a dark background.
