black spots on disucs?

Do you think that would be true for over all coloring too? I have flourite substrate and im thinking about switching all my discus into my 115 gal. It has a black background but i was thinking of putting in white sand as the substrate.

PS nice severum! ^^

Usually that's also true for coloring. Reds and blues will be darker in a dark tank and fish will show their bars. Even their eyes darken up a bit sometimes in a dark tank.

yeah man i had a black background and changed it to blue and the peppering that i did have which was very little has already changed

the way your discus is peppering up. i dont think it will go away if you change the surroundings. pigeons have peppering. as other stated if they surrounding is too dark peppering will occur. unless it has good genetics. the brighter and vibrant the tank is...the nicer the discus will be. the darker it is the more dark your discus will be. unless you get albino's then it doesnt matter. and i think this applies to all sorts of non albino discus. they will either show peppering, dark edges or stress bars under dark environments unless it has good genetics and are albino's.
