lighten up the living area.. as light as you can get bottom and back ground...

or yea..

get rid of the fish and get NON pigeon base fish

light bottom and background and get non pigeon base

[discuspaul]

As others have said, suggest a cream colored background, and white silica PFS for substrate - won't eradicate peppering, but should lighten it up/dissipate it significantly.

Well, more than me, these guys are more friendlier with my mother.....they eat out of her hand....so no question of giving off!

Lemme try the other options....and thanks a ton for the ideas!
