He/she looks good and fat! Try to get a shot from the side so that we can see the shape better..

Looks like a nice fish though...

He's a lovely looking fish, but quarantine should last for 4 weeks.

So many times we hear of a beautiful discus tank that has been healthy for a year or more, and then suddenly with the addition of one extra fish, they all become ill and die.

Quarantine is a vital step for all new fish.

Any idea what this fish is Merrilyn ? Is it a "snow white discus" ?

nice looking fish, at first glance I thought it might be a white butterfly with the pale blue/green fins

Hi Cityguy take a look at these two, looking through Tony Tans website, your fish looks a lot like the white emperor.. Would love to see some more pics of your fish to get a better idea.
