ive got an FH last january, looks like a female, around 5-6" before, hasnt developed her redness and pearls in her body since i got it from the LFS, she looks so dull and pale before, but now she looks better than ever, as long as u take good care of ur fish, clean water and good food, they will turn out prettier than u expected in the end!!
about ur pix u showed us, looks like a convict or sumting, her head is different sumhow.. if its really an FH then its an FH, u myt give it sum tym to develop its body as it grows, sum LFS dont really attend to their fishes needs in their shop, thats why u cant see the real beauty of the fish due to low maitenance, as what sum LFS hir are doing..
hirs my pix of my FH now, sori but i jst cant find her old pix before. but she has developed quite well now!!
