As the name implies, this discus is bright white in color. There are no patterns and it is a solid color all over the body. The dorsal fin and the pectoral fin of this discus are white to opaque and from far away resemble spikes. The tail region is opaque and it seems as if this discus has no tail when observed from a distance. On closer examination, the facial region is a dark cream color which stands out against the white eye of this discus. This is a beautiful addition to your aquarium because of its color and the spiky resemblance of the fins makes it a rare looking discus unlike some other fish that are available.
Discus originate from the basin of the Amazon River and are a larger type of tropical fish that have become a popular choice for aquariums. This is because of their distinct disc like shape and the dorsal and pectoral fins that run across the top and bottom towards the tail region. On average the white diamond can mature to about 8” long. They usually have the same height and length which contributes to the overall round, flat shape. The color of this white diamond discus contrasts against the green vegetation of an aquarium and will be a beautiful addition to yours. Although they are large, the discus is very peaceful and possesses a calm nature. It is non-aggressive and highly social and prefers the company of other fish with a similar temperament and that are also slow feeders.
