It is only pigeon blood based discus that pepper. The pepper is efectively the stress bars of the discus. Dark backgrounds and some planted tanks can cause a pigeon blood to increase its peppering. It is now considered a flaw in pigeon bloods if there is any pepper, those without pepper are described as being clean.

Then it is either not peppering or it has pigeon blood genes in it.
