Video and Pics was taken few minutes ago after buying this from LFS.. I went LFS to buy a FH food but this one i got :grinno: The black is almost cover up all over her body.

i was wondering if she was in breeding color or she is molting.. BTW she's not proven female yet the lfs told me its a male but i have a strong thought that this one is female.

Doesn't look like it's fading & it looked very stressed out.. Let it settle down in your tank for a few days..
Btw, nice pearls on this one.. :)

No bro, I think its not a stress color, lfs said its wat its color ever since its arrived on their store, i already saw her many times, almost a week, when i went to my work. i proved it to my self that she is going to darker everyday.
 
Nice FH but I agree. it looks pretty stressed out.
 
I'm VERY new to FH's and even to me it looks like stress.
Even if the fish was at the lfs for quite awhile, in most cases it'll still be stressed because of all the disturbances...constant traffic, customers tapping glass, nets in and out of the holding tank several times a day everyday, over crowding etc.

That one looks like it's gonna be nice once it settles in. Great markings.
