Welcome to the forum Snow White.

You did very well just to get your wrigglers to attach to white parents, so congratulations.

I spoke to an Asian discus breeder some time ago, who said they like to use the white swan in their breeding program because it has no colour of it's own. You can put any colour over it, and it will always throw to the coloured parent.

He seemed to know what he was talking about, so I have no reason to doubt him, although I've never actually put this to the test myself.

Again, my congratulations, and a warm welcome to the forum.

Hard to tell from that pic, but do they have a red or white eye rim?

Nice little fish. You did a good job with them.

The white gene is usually dominant to all others, but PB gene is also right up there too.

I think you might have co-dominace expressed there, so that you have white ghosts with a bit of PB pattern through the fins. Realistically they might also be heavily peppered.

But nice all the same
