Not sure, but it looks to me like a Wayne Ng Albino. I got a lot just like that on my final shipment from him.

Thank you for the reply Frank,

I first think it was something like Sanmarha. What is the main difference between a Sanmarha and a albino?

Ho by the way, I can't wait :D :D :D still always on my mind :D :D :D

If it has true black eyes, it's not albino.

It looks like it's been crossed with a solid white (snowflake, snow white) discus. From the picture, it looks like what we'd call "Red Whites" here. Of course, it's not the best pic, so I could be wrong...

Hello Ryan,

THe fish has black eyes on the upper side and red eyes on the down side. It's 50%/50%. I guest you are closed because when I got it it was more brown but I think he slowly start to color white in the front part.

I'd also say red and white. A san merah is a solid red/brown fish. I had two at my place when I came. remember the 3 discus that were alone in their tank?? there was a blue diamond and 2 san merah

I think it is also a red/white. Loverboi got like a whole tank of them looking like that.

Kinda looks like it could be a ghost. How old is it?

Ghosts are more of a grey color, and some have orange/yellow "caps" on their forehead. White-based discus are usually a pearly white color that may also be beige/peach colored, like the fish pictured.

Red Whites are fairly common now. They were hugely popular a couple years ago when they were first imported into the US. I'm guessing that now we're seeing a lot of young fish that are the results of crosses from those Snow White or Red White discus that were imported a few years ago.
