He's 4-5" would you expect him to fade again or would you think he will stay this color?
 
His body composition is nice, with a good sized kok. You're the one that will be caring for it so go for it if you like him. Personally I'm more into pearls, but body comp. first. Again that's just my 2cent.

it's definitely not a fader. i'm not qualified to comment on other aspects though. Kev, you can come and see it in person...i assume Van will be OK with that.
 
For the size of the fish is ok, it show some potential for size, now if I have to guess I will Say look like maybe the father was a RD and the mom more like a fader, base of what I have seen when I breed some of my flowers but I can be wrong, it all came down in your own personal preference if you like it and the prize

For me it has always been about three things with Flowerhorn: 1st Price, 2nd Its appearance, 3rd How it responds to my presence. If the price is too high for what I can afford, and I try to negotiate the price down and I can't, then I can't get the fish. Appearance is the next factor for me because I really love flower horns that look like painted art work with tons of color and pearls. The last BIG IMPORTANT factor is how the flower horn responds to me. Flowerhorn's should be ultra responsive to you. They should act like an underwater dog. If a flower horn won't chase my finger on the from of the tank then I won't buy it.
 
At least mine started to fade around that size. He started out looking similar to the female and then started to change allot. Personally my female is the look that I really like allot. Lots of black with good green around the black and allot of spangling. uploadfromtaptalk1386783939678.jpg
