    Default What strains are these

    I was told the white one is some kind of butterfly and the orange one is some kind of pigeon blood?

    The white one could be a Hans silver pigeon blood and the orange looks like a pigeon blood. Did you buy those local?

    They're both PB strains. But as for a strain name, don't worry about it as there could be numerous...

    Brown based red but may not be rose red after you stated "white stripes on head" which may be cobalt reflective headdress of type similar from captive bred brown lineage (still close to rose red... but each breeder/hobbyist may catalogue it different... regardless, brown-based red... and I love all of them)

    thanks for clearing it up. Im pretty bad at naming discus strains. This is my first discus I get from LFS when first started. even the seller have no clue on the strains.
