What does it mean for a discus to be peppered? I've seen that term a few times on the blog and I'm curious. Does anyone have pictures? I imagine it to look like this:

... but I don't keep Discus so I have no clue. Thanks guys!

Yes your example show's peppering. It's carried in the Pigeon Blood lines. Sometimes you can breed it out. But its very difficult and not desirable in the Discus World.
Hopefully Matt will see this post and answer more completely as he's breeding Discus.

Jess did a good job explaining it. Peppering is basically just a skin pigment only found in Pigeon Blood lines as Jess said. Nothing harmful health wise, just unsightly.

Peppering as you showed in the link, is a fish that looks like its been dosed with pepper from a pepper shaker.
