Ayt bro, thanks, at least im confident now that spangling can still develop at this stage.. Was opting to get a bigger kel with nice markings already but you guys saved me from getting another cichla. Thank you! 
Okay hope so, thanks for the info bro!
Haha thanks bud! Bumble bee grouper? Why you gonna ship me one from jersey to the philippines? Haha they look great actually i love their colors and aggression but i wouldnt know how to take care of brackish fish. Plus we have a lot of grouper here in the islands. Chinese restos have tanks full of grouper to be steamed with fermented yellow bean and soy sauce and blanched with smoking hot oil! Very very good eating! Hehe
ey aren't you talking about lapu lapu? haha. Im Filipino and I love that stuff its a shame that the fish is so nice yet we still eat it
