Hi All, new member here saying hi to all forum members.
Back drop on Bruce.
He is a F2 King Kamfa (med KOK) dont like the big silly massive KOK's on fish. I dont have images of parents, but was told by the dealer if I was lucky he might fade red to white (based on parents) if not he will most likely have a red base body with pearls. Hes currently 3.5/4 inches long, and was imported from Thailand at the start of the year by the dealer. I have had him now for several months and he is completly settled and happy - however sometime for no reason he can be very skittish...
He has a 300 litre (UK) tank to himself with an FX4, sand substrate and temp is 30 celcius. Diet consists of Hikari floating and sinking gold pellet with the occasional prawn. Water is hard with a PH 8, with 40% weekly changes (anybody have issues with Flowerhorns trying to rip owners fingers off whilst cleaning tank walls lmfao)
Forum members is Bruce starting to fade?
When I first got him he had very even body colour, however over the last few weeks I have noticed the top half of the fish has lost most of black in the second flowerline (not centre flowerline row) and its been slowly replaced with a lighter pink/orange and sometimes very white colour. In this same time its head has started to get red colour come thru and he's fins have started to change to red. However having said this sometimes he's body can appear almost gold in colour with the exception of the red on he's face.
First image is Bruce saying ''HI''with a face picture. Next three images were all taken today. The last two images are closer to when I first got Bruce, so you can see the differences.
PS. Images are super crap quality... I am sorry.
PPS. Fist time posting, if I have done something wrong I appologise.
