Very fine sand will travel through filters and muck them up and black in a discus tank while hightlighting their colours will also bring out their peppering and striations as they try to fit into their surroundings as they do in nature.

so what are you saying with the peppering i have a lot of a grade discus i dont want them getting peppering i was told that it came from the breeding stock not the enviroment that there in,does anyone have more info on this

discus will try and comoflage with their enviroment, as pigion blood based discus have no stripe to darken them selves up they will "pepper" its natural.
