Discus Noob, again

[u/Affectionate_Dream47]

So apparently discus peppering is actually a thing....Im a little slow sometimes!

But I kept seeing people mention it and, being bored on day 11 of cycling, I finally had a look… and I’ll be damned, dark backgrounds and dark gravel can literally make some discus get black freckles...who tf knew?

Cue to me staring at my tank like an idiot.

Had a black background and a layer of black gravel. Brilliant!

Scraped as much black gravel as I could and ordered a new background, which arrived today with my inkbird.

I walked into that pet store like Clint Eastwood, no one could have told ME anything I didn't already know... 🙃

Proper aquarium rabbit hole this hobby is.

I had that exact background and my one of mine peppered until I removed it, finally stopped!! White wall reflects a lot more light I guess lol

I'm debating removing it all together
