    Looks nice. Still a little dark, but is better than black. I like recommending pastel-type colors for discus. It makes them pop and it is very good for pb's.

    PB is short for Pigeon Blood. Really depends on the genes of the fish I'd say. Some you can't even avoid it with white paint, it's just how the fish is. The best option to totally avoid pepper is to not buy PBs or find the cleanest ones possible. I too like more pastel colors when viewing the tank personally, but if you find clean PBs I think you'll be fine with that blue.

    So I've got to search for some real nice pb's with no dark marking on them ?
