but this fish has great potential.

I agree, the pearling is superb. Well worth holding onto for a while at least !

As has been said, it all depends on what you are looking for. For most of us mere mortals who do not live in the far east, we simply do not have access to the very best FH's that they have out there. Because, let's face it, the best breeders out there will keep the best for themselves.
Many of us cannot even import aquabid fish. Our standards are therefore lower, because we compare fish to what we see locally to us. Personally, I would be utterly thrilled to be able to be able to source xaznkewlguyx's new fish in the UK.
In contrast, on other forums, the chaps in Thailand and malaysia or wherever may have different standards and might well dismiss the fish as low/medium quality.

Overall though, FH's can change enormously in the first 6 months or so of life, and that fish "could" turn out to be exceptional.
