bought for $10 about 2 months ago at 1". He's 3" already and I don't think he will ever look decent but he has the craziest personality out of any fish I've ever owned. Looks just like the "red dragon" I special ordered from my other LFS for $6, probably the same generation of fish for all I know. Probably the fastest growing fish I've ever owned too. He's been attacking my hand since 2" lol.

If he has personality in my eyes that makes up for any flaws in the looks. Who wants a fish thats looks good but all it does is crap. My shinto may not have had a large head but it was a damn fun fish and thats a quality people don't talk about. Take a video for us!
 
I don't mind, I think I will still grow him out until 7-8" until I decide to get rid of him.

I still have this female to fall back on, she just grows so damn slow. I know it won't be hard to find her a nice male, but I figured I'd try growing some out. At the rate shes growing I still have time to start growing out more males for her.

I have a bunch of videos ready to make on my computer but its such a piece of crap, I'm going to start making lots of videos once I get my new quad core computer set up.

I agree with you on the personality of the fish. Right now he's fine with all of his tank mates but he killed a 5" convict in about 2 minutes by himself. Its just a pain in the ... because now I can't add any new fish to his tank.

I actually like the fish, so I'm in the minority.

thanks man, I probably will never drop a chunk of money on a FH, but I can always grow some out and hope for the best. I thought this guy might be decent quality. This is a picture of his mom, I think he will show nice colors as an adult.
