I was thinking the same thing but I have a lot of flowerhorns but never had a fader so no clue on how they look when it starts
 
Agree with HybridFinatic they seem to be fading.

I am at 80°F for my fish, planning to drop it to 78 after some time. Many prefer high temperature as much as even 90 to accelerate growth. I prefer more of natural pace, it has been amazing experience to see my fish grow.
 
Anyone else with fader experience have a opinion?
I'd say the female Is for sure fading but idk about the male. If he is it's hard to tell. But yeah seems like they are a bit of late bloomers and fading at a bit of a larger size then what mine did. Mine faded at around 2in and some as small as .5in (mainly runts). But yeah I'd say for sure the female is fading, looks like she might end up like my old female I had about a year ago just with better pearling then mine had. Here's a pic of how she turned out as an adult btw.
