Well I think the looks on a FH is important as well as the character of a FH... remember one thing, FH are INBRED A LOT... its not found in the wild...people have mixed pairs just to get better fry... the one you have looks like one of the first type of flowerhorns, with basic structure and color... never know, might have more stronger genes!

yeah i understand..but this FH is a fader, he will start changing color on a few month..he will be orange like his father..golden base flowerhorn.

Just because its father was a fader doesn't mean the fry will fade. You can't call it a fader unless its faded. It may carry the gene, but as of now, its a ZZ.
