My 3" White Butterfly/White Scorpion Throwbacks

[Melissa]

Just got 2 WB/WS TB's from good ol' Chad from San Diego Discus! Now they've joined the 3 RT's and 2 BD's (From Chad as well!) in my 60 gal.
:D

[Melissa]

A few more...

They definitely didn't inherit any solid white from their parents... they almost look like Albino RT's huh?

[DiscusKev]

I especially like the WB/WS throwbacks on the last picture on #2, it has a good shape, and I'm sure taken with care it will become a nice specimen :)

Nah, they don't look like Albino RT, ART look more attractive with their white halo ring and their alluring red eyes. Just my opinion, beauty is in the eye of the beholder :D

[Eddie]

Very nice fish! The white scorpion throwbacks look amazing and should turn out to be some KILLER adults.

All the best,

Eddie

Thanks Kev, thanks Eddie! I'm so excited to see what they look like all grown up. It was interesting to see how pale they were in the breeders tank with virtually no pattern and now in their new home they have a peachy colored pattern with white shinning through! I'm going to go ahead and get one more from Chad because i can't help myself.



:p Watching them grow up is so much fun!

[Eddie]

Oh, they are gonna color up so much more and the lines will look GREAT on them.

The lines on those fish are going to be fab when they are adults

[Melissa]

HAHHA You guys have got me all jazzed! I might be bad and get 2 more then.. we'll see what Chad has in stock! :p It's great to hear you guys think they'll turn out nice. I think i will periodically take some follow up pics to track their development and i'll come back and share them on this post.

Cheers! :o

Looking in good shape, have fun growing them, am sure they will become the star of your tank :)

Thanks Melissa!

I'll be flying out of Qatar on Qatar Airlines. Never flown that one before and apparently this is a new route for them.... straight to Washington DC.

I love the pictures! They are looking great!

Best wishes!

Here's my new WB/WS TB pair!!!! They've bee shimmying and cleaning that cone all day.
Hehehe... this picture doesn't do them justice it's a camera phone.

Here's to hoping they're a male & female :p

[Disgirl]

What a great site Melissa! I am thrilled to see them using my cone, I mean your cone :D. Here's hoping they get it right and make you some beautiful young! Really beautiful discus! Let us know...
Barb:)

[Melissa]

:D Its a fabulous cone Barb! It's seen quite a bit of action lately! Its had different fish spawn on it twice so far :p I wish i had bought two more cones so everyone in this tank had their own lol

[Eddie]

Nice pair Melissa! Crossing my fingers they are male/female.

[hedut]
