Pigeon Blood
A variant of Discus (Symphysodon aequifasciatus)
A foundational designer strain with a warm orange-cream body and red eyes, notable for never developing the dark wild stress bars. The ancestor of countless modern crosses.
Keeper tips for this variant
Many Pigeon-derived fish show black 'pepper' speckling that intensifies on bright substrate and over-lit tanks; use a dark background and dimmer lighting to keep them clean.
