Cichlid Identification ?

[depthC]

Alright im not sure if anyone can help me identify this cichlid but im gunna ask just incase one of the experts know. I saw this cichlid at 2 different stores but not labeled and i dont remember what they were under, prolly Asst african cichlids or one of those catagories.

Anyways it was an all white body, that was more circular than long. So the fish pretty much looked like a circle in body shape and was all white. So im not sure if this can help anyone identify it, but i checked 3 sites and couldnt find any cichlid that resembles the one i saw. It also wasnt jsut one it was a full tank with just this species. Thanks for any help.

or did it really look like a fish shape but a little rounder.

sounds like a gold / albino severum, may not be, but it sounds similar.

No i dont have a pic, but the fish was definetaly more round and they all were fairly small, id say the size of a quarter or maybe bigger.

And you sure it was a cichlid?

I'd say either it was a small Discus (snow white strain)
or
a Severum.....but never seen them white before.

No way was it a small discus, i guess ill have to check up on the fish again i dont remember the name. I always forget the names of fish i havent seen around. I saw some cool looking rasbora, with some weird name and i cant even remember that.
