I've done a lot of research and read the sticky in this forum regarding faders but I'm still confused about what to expect. I purchased this fader Red Texas a few months ago when she(?) was about half the size she is now (5-6 inches). She's been going through the fading process since I got her but her pattern has remained essentially the same and there hasn't been much change to her coloration except her pinkish hues have turned more yellow and oranges the have intensified a bit. Since she hasn't undergone any major changes so far is this basically what I can expect her to look like as a full adult or is a more drastic change possible? Thanks!
 
Nice fader fish. I'm not sure about gender. You might have to take it out and flip it over to vent it to be certain on the sex. Also looks more like fader flowerhorn than red Texas.

+Thanks! Yeah, she doesn't look a lot like a Red Texas but I got a male Super Pearly Red Texas from the same batch and he definitely looks like a Red Texas so it's hard to say.
