Nice update.

Young juvenile red doesnt display redness except on the finnages and some on the lips. It's not showing now doesnt mean it's or lower quality. All reds have to go through this stage.

Some SR won't show any red color even in 1-2 years and some longer, then it will burst out of a nice red color in no time. Some do develop early. It's up to the owner on how he/she take care of their aro. If it's a high grade SR and the owner is not doing the proper way on taking care of the SR, then it may not turn out to a high quality one when it grow.
The quality of the aro is just there to guide you of it's development. So the aro must be taken care properly to make it look good when it grows.

Thanks for the comments. I am honestly more concerned with keeping his figure thick and proportionate, rather than worrying about his cheek development, as some of you have already mentioned, early cheek development does not necessarily prove a quality fish. At such an early age as well, choosing a quality fish is almost impossible. The best you could do is choose by other characteristics as fin length, head shape, and overall body proportion.
Most Red arowanas will have cheek development between the sizes of 12-14", while "early bloomers" can show signs at around 9-10". Mine is currently around 8" with the tail.
Thanks once more for all the comments!
