Your FH is looking good. IME water changes are best left to a day with no food. Water changes can be a stressful event with some fish, and with changing water parameters, even if slight, I have always felt it best to not feed on the same day, certainly not at the same time. Fish don’t need to eat every day. I think that a weekly purge is healthy for a fish, just as intermittent fasting is for humans. Just something to consider. Good luck

True true, definitely a good point to make. Ik I especially do that with older more matured fish as they aren't really using the food to fuel rapid growth anymore like the Lil guys do. That and FH's have a very bad habit of over eating, if allowed, and are prone to getting bloat as they mature.

Got some new pics of daisy. Hump it’s staring to really bulge out in front of his face making it hilarious to watch him struggle to get floating pellets that are in the corner of tank. Don’t know if it’s just me but his read has been moving more down his body a bit more and getting more vivid. EA5E51E1-C756-4C7F-8650-058B27C8AFE1.jpeg
I know this second picture isn’t the best but minus the glare from the flash I think it’s pretty good C0B7B214-49D4-4BE0-B22E-9F8B25971FCB.jpeg
