I've got little FH, seller told its SRD but when i compare 2 month later i guess its fader because head flower got less color and caudal fin as well. First pic when i bought him and second pic 2 month later. Whats your opinion?
SRD or fader?

Could be a fader. Usually the tail is where you'll start to see the discoloration. If you look on the dorsal you can see the golden color coming in towards the tips.
Thanks a lot. Are there some other fader's symptoms? My other FH fader when he was young had just dark grey/red colors
No to me he looks like he's just lighter in color probably still getting used to your water and everything. If you look at his tail in first pic when he was colored up you can still see the sign of that lighter coloring on the ends and his dorsal just looks lighter than the first pic as well but his entire body is lighter so it makes since.
First month after i got him, no any changes i've noticed. When he doesn't like something or in stress, his body getting vertical wide black stripes. And after first month that tail discoloration appeared and now it getting bigger. He doesn't look sick, eat very well. Maybe put some salt in tank just in case?)
Unless you see deterioration of the fins I would t worry about it. Give it another month or so and see ho he looks. My money is on he's slowly fading. You know what your fish looks like when he's stressed, just keep an eye out for any odd behavior
