I have had these 2 discus given to me and would like to know if they are to young to tell what they might be. He did not know what they were but I think they have a beautiful shape and color. I got them a month ago at under 2" and 1 is already over 2.5 inches,the other quite a bit slower growing.

Rich: I am new to discus, but it looks to me to be one of the white strains; It might also be one of the yellow strain that is taking a little time to get its more intense color too. Hopefully someone with more experience with breeding discus can come along and give you a better assessment. i started mine with the turquise (red and blue) so I am unfamilar with the more complicated strains...regardless, it looks like a very nice fish,a and will get better with age and increased heft.

Looks like it could be a white diamond. Not quite sure...looks like a young Discus. Only time can tell. :)
