Thank you all for the comments!
I can see where you are coming from. I realize the color will fade, and the fins will look less dramatic when he is full grown. However, I love large cichlids and have never owned one before, so I am looking forward to him getting large.

In all honesty I like them best right at that size. The fins are so dramatic and the color has set in! Gorgeous fish!
