Got this guy 3 weeks ago, he has put on an inch and his head is starting to pop a bit. This past week he got transfered into his 75 gallon tank and has been loving it. I have been giving him a mirror for about 5-10 minutes a day and he flares at it and pushes it across the tank (it's a ZooMed betta mirror, it floats).

How does his progress look for his size? I have tried to find progress threads with photos but I'm not sure where he fits in. Does anyone think his pearls will pop more as he gets bigger?

He's decent for 4". Looks like it will get more color but don't know about the pearls. Nice little rd.
 
I know he has gained some pearling in the fins and gill plate as well as the flowerline. I'll update again in a couple weeks if there is noticeable change.
