What you see now is what you will see in the future, except it will develope some little greenish yellow shades around the pattern. Reason why they don't have pattern is becuase due to mass breeding with hormones injection. This happens to endlicheri too. They developed usual patterns. Some captive breed endli patterns don't even look saddled anymore.

Here's mine came from Indonesia. I also notice that they grow slower than wild caught.

Oh, that's great then! I really think the spots are pretty neat.
Anyway, well... that sucks. That's a rather crappy way to go about breeding something. You'd figure they'd stop and re-evaluate what they're doing if they're changing/eliminating the natural patterns of the animal they're breeding.

And wow, that's a beauty! And another by-product of the mass breeding and the hormone injections?

Breeders won't actually stop using hormones injection as it's the easy way for them to breed their fish so they can sell them fast and in more numbers.
