Dear all,

I need some experience and opinions from you. I want to outcross my white butterfly but can't find another suitable white butterfly from my area. Some of the possible discus i can get my hands on or have on hand are:

Red melon
San merah
Blue diamonds
Yellow pigeon
Carnation turqs
Golden albino
Red diamond
Red Golden Diamond

My aim is to obtain a good percentage of white butterflies with minimal peppering. Let me know if there are other suitable strains of discus too.

Cheers and many thanks
Tze Hong

You may not get a large percentage of WB but you'll get a higher percentage with this cross than with any of the others I would imagine.

White Butterfly X Blue Diamond

Hi bro Francis, will the offsprings of WB x BD have lots of pepper since the BD is not a pigeon blood fish? My WB is quite free of pepper.

Thanks

Hi Hendri, i think in order to get albino WB, you will need to cross two of the F1s together.

Actually i don't quite favor crssing with albino as i do not want AWB as they may grow slower.

Does anyone have a picture of a BD cross WB? I think i saw one in another forum before. Will try to dig it out.
