As an experiment I would by some natural anstaxanthin and add to your feed, if they can get the red back you will know within a month or so,

that might turn the white pink

Only if you over do it, and not before any natural reds are displayed. I wouldnt use any synthetics though.

it doesnt have to be "over doing it" if theres enough to maybe bring the red back there is enough to maybe turn it pink
either way i would suggest a super checkerboard as i said before if you like it.

I disagree, it is found naturally in many things, in the wild the diet of many fish will provide the anstaxanthin that will make thier reds vibrant, if the red areas are naturally red but the fish doesnt have enough natural red enhancers in the diet they will fade as the fish cannot produce reds naturally on its own. If the markings are just faded it may bring them back before it effects the main body color. If the fish lost the markings due to the patern changing with age then nothing will bring them back. Even if the fish recieves to much of the red enhancer and starts to turn pink it will fade away in a few weeks once it is not used anymore. Feeding in moderation will enhance any naturally red spots without causing unatural red coloration.
It is used in large amount for red dragon flowerhorn, half the body is red the other half white when used correctly the red half becomes more vibrant with no effect on the lighter half, when over used the lighter half will slowly begin to start showing slight color but first in the eyes and fins.

The op can try it but it has not worked for mine. I add anstaxanthin to my frozen mix which also has other natural red enhancers like shrimp and salmon.As an experiment I would by some natural anstaxanthin and add to your feed, if they can get the red back you will know within a month or so,

how many white discus do you find in the wild? while yes the pink does fade once stop it might not go away completely thats why discus owner that has yellow discus has to be careful because once they turn pink theres no way to get the yellow back. idk how well it effects normal white discus but my albino snow white isnt as white when the pink faded and i have an albino millenium gold that is more peach than gold and i stop feeding anything with anstaxanthin for about 6 months now and nothing has change. as said in the thread we believe it might be mix with a white butterfly and the red fades because of the gene .
yeah i dont really want to add in chemicals and additives and all that stuff ...
i will try varying their diets more than what ive done lately and see what that does
