Description

The White Diamond Discus fish is a must have for every discus aquarium. This fish is a bright white color that will stand out among the discus aquarium. This strain of discus is very difficult to breed due to its white coloration. During spawning the fish doesn’t darken in color making it very difficult for the fry to find the parents for feeding. Therefore the fry survival rate is typically lower than any other strain if discus. That is why this fish is known to be rare and yields a higher price.
