White butterfly throwback

[corrosionjerry]

Why are some White butterflys called White butterfly throwbacks?

How are they different then the White butterflys..

White Butterfly is a Pigeon blood based fish...They have been breed and cross breed to display more solid white coloration. When you see the term throwback it means that the fish is going to display coloration like the original Pigeon blood that was used to create the strain in the first place.

I prefer the throwbacks personally, since I do like striations in the fish. The white butterfly will become solid white where the TB will have some striating lines.
