He looks like a pretty healthy little fella and it looks like there is already some blues coming in on his cheeks. I hope he grows into an awesome fish for you.

a little update. He's growing pretty well and so far getting along with the other parachromis once I get my lid and diy led lights up and running I will take another photo. His colors are popping !! I don't plan on breeding for a while because I don't have the room unfortunately lol. However I did find a nice little female at our local lfs I just about impulse purchased ..... Still thinking about it . Shes in a 10 gallon :(

Averaging about 1/2 inch per month got him when he was the size of my pinkie nail. Seems like he goes through growth spurts and he is on one right now . I swear he's gotten bigger just in the last week. Just put him into a 240 from a 180 so I will see the progress. I also did some research on probiotics. Well read the sticky so I will see in the next month if that helps ! When I first got him he was tiny and I was sure he was going to die because he came from a 10 gallon dirty tank. I think he's doing pretty well despite his odds starting off :)
