Babak, all discus strains have more or less the same amount of mucous on their body. Its just that albinos and pigdeon based discus (marlboro/pigeon red/silver pigfeon etc)either lack black pigment or is that scattered around the body (peppering, most modern quality pigdeon bloods dont have it anymore). So its hard for discus fry to attach to the adults, since they have trouble finding them due to lack of dark colours (fry activelly seek dark places).
