New addition. Not what i ordered but they said he was better. But anyway Can anyone tell what he is? Ive only had him five days he was shipped in a bag way to small with not much water as well and he was very stressed when he arrived. When i got him he had no KOK at all so im thinking it shrunk during shipping. These pics are five days later and his KOK is a pretty good size already and his colors are really starting to pop. Also sorry pictures suck. I would just like to know what he most likely is and do you think his KOK probably shrunk during shipping ?

I can’t name it but I will say from experience that the head will shrink a lot during shipping
Like everyone will say good food , good flow, good temperature and keep the water clean and in time the kok will come back if the genie are in the bloodline
Mine took a good 2-3 week before looked like a stunner again

That's good recovery for 5 days. Looks like red dragon with lots of pearls and some merged pearls.

Like everyone already stated, red dragon. Might turn out to be a super red dragon hopefully once it settles in and colors pop more.

Probably a water quality problem.

Post your tank test results as well as the amount of water changes and tank size.
