Origin:
The White Butterfly Discus is a selectively bred domestic discus variety developed from wild Symphysodon species native to the Amazon River basin of South America. This strain has been carefully refined to produce a clean, solid white body with a soft, velvety finish. Some specimens display subtle translucent finnage and light red or ruby eyes, enhancing its elegant “butterfly-like” appearance as it glides through the water. In a tank full of colorful fish, its pure white presence creates a luxurious and premium look.

Size:
Adult White Butterfly Discus typically grow to about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) in diameter.

Temperament:

• Peaceful and social fish
• Prefers to be kept in groups of 5 or more
• Sensitive to stress and water quality fluctuations; thrives in calm, stable environments

Care Requirements:

• Water temperature: 82°F to 86°F (28°C to 30°C)
• pH: 6.0 to 7.0
• Water hardness: Soft to moderately hard
• Requires regular water changes and good filtration to maintain excellent water quality

Diet:
Omnivorous — feeds on high-quality flakes, pellets, and beef heart preparations.

Special Notes:

• The White Butterfly Discus is prized for its pure, snow-white body and graceful swimming style.
• Its clean coloration creates a stunning contrast in planted aquariums or against dark backgrounds.
• Because white discus can show stress markings more easily, stable water quality and low-stress tank mates are essential.
• Ideal for experienced aquarists who can maintain consistent, high-quality water conditions.
