Picked this guy up about a month ago. About 6" right now. Bought him because I liked his shape didnt have much in the way of color, the more i looked it looked like a dark "dustiness" over his body noth the dark blotches I am accustomed to see on a peeling amph. Lately i have been seeing light spots and streaks showing up on fins especially dorsal and his eyes where they were once black around the red iris have turned white. I have included some pics. Just wondering if this guy might be a fader and if so what might he end up looking like when doneDSC_0422.JPGDSC_0423.JPGDSC_0424.JPGDSC_0425.JPGDSC_0427.JPGDSC_0428.JPGDSC_0429.JPG

You can see the dustiness I'm talking about on his white belly and cheeks/gill plates

What you see is what you get. Not really understanding what you mean. Are you saying it is fading or not fading?

Pretty much overnight fish turned darker than ever even light spots that had started to fade are shrinking not really sure what's going on here. Never seen something unfade but then I am admittedly no fh expert. Certain it's not a health issue as he is active, eating (begging) and the water is pristine (I'm a freak about my water.)
