White Butterfly Discus for Sale
White Butterfly discus combine a bright, light body with butterfly-style patterning for a clean, high-contrast look. They stand out in a planted tank or beside solid-color strains. Ours come from Tony Tan bloodlines and are chosen for pattern clarity, round body shape and good behavior. Every fish is quarantined before sale.
What White Butterfly Discus Look Like
The strain pairs a pale or white base with butterfly-like markings that read clearly under aquarium lighting. Pattern should look crisp rather than muddy, and the body should stay round and full. At six inches the pattern typically shows well from a viewing distance, which is why this size is a strong display pick. As with all our discus, product photos are actual tank pictures from our fish room and are updated with each shipment.

Care Basics
White Butterflies need the same basics as other discus: warm water around 82–86°F, soft and clean conditions, and frequent water changes. Feed a varied diet several times a day: high-protein mix, frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp. Keep them in groups with calm tankmates. Clean water helps keep the light base bright and the butterfly pattern crisp. Quarantine all new fish before adding them to an established tank.
Breeding Notes
Patterned light-bodied strains are interesting for breeders who want high-contrast fry. Pairing White Butterfly to White Butterfly is the usual way to keep the trait. Adults at 6 inches are at a good size for pairing up. Give a pair a spawning cone, very stable water and a quiet setting. Both parents guard and fan the eggs, and the fry feed from the parents' slime coat before moving on to baby brine shrimp.
