jeanie1978 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Im curious to know peoples thoughts on these bloodlines? Butterfly (pigeon) and Mercury. Mercury is a fairly new strain and the full white on white butterfly strain is not common in my area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodives Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Since you are asking for personal opinions, just treat the following as mine - eg. very personal and without judgment of other tastes. IMO none of the aquarium strains are as elegant and subtle as the natural wild forms although, I admit, some are more spectacular and colourful. I've seen many discus in bare-bottom tanks with minimal decor in which case natural environment and subtlety is not a goal and the more brightly coloured and patterned fish are a better choice. However, regarding these particular white-on-white ones, they lack both colour and contrast and have no appeal to me at all beyond possibly appreciation for the skill of breeders to create all these varieties.
