    Default White butterfly X ???

    Dear all,

    I need some experience and opinions from you. I want to outcross my white butterfly but can't find another suitable white butterfly from my area. Some of the possible discus i can get my hands on or have on hand are:

    Red melon
    San merah
    Blue diamonds
    Yellow pigeon
    Carnation turqs
    Golden albino
    Red diamond
    Red Golden Diamond

    My aim is to obtain a good percentage of white butterflies with minimal peppering. Let me know if there are other suitable strains of discus too.

    Cheers and many thanks
    Tze Hong

    You may not get a large percentage of WB but you'll get a higher percentage with this cross than with any of the others I would imagine.

    Hi bro Francis, will the offsprings of WB x BD have lots of pepper since the BD is not a pigeon blood fish? My WB is quite free of pepper.

    Thanks

    Hi Hendri, i think in order to get albino WB, you will need to cross two of the F1s together.

    Actually i don't quite favor crssing with albino as i do not want AWB as they may grow slower.
