have a look at this, you could give SLS a call to enquire about prices.

i think its just discus with a more round shape. where there's place for a fancy name, there almost always is one slotted in.

There is a difference between normal body, high fin and high body fish.

A normal shape is just that. As round as possible in the body, with normal fin shape.

High fin is a normal body shape but the dorsal and anal fin are higher.

High body is almost an oval shape, rather than a round shape. The finnage is usually normal, but the actual body height measurement is greater than the length.
