He got hex and then a whole bunch of secondary diseases/infections. After about a month of treatment and no eating, I just couldn't bare to see him suffer anymore.

I feel ya, my ZZ Malau ended up with Hex and didn't eat for 2.5 months, treated him 3 times at the beginning but didn't help. Finally started eating again but now his stomach is bloated up I think from secondary infection, it's looks almost as if all the food he's eating isn't digesting in his stomach.

Have you tried epsom salts? That and some spirulina based pellets, or anything veggie based for that matter can assist with the bloat.
Finally got some pics of the fab 4. Not the best quality pics yet but we're getting there. All fish are still pretty small but have doubled in size since their arrival. They all look much better in person.
Numero Uno: This guy is gonna be the MP I've always wanted
Numero Dos: Short Body, can't tell if it's male or female yet
Numero Tres: I'm thinking female on this one
Titanium: Male for sure

They all look good but that one you think is going to be a MP is not going to be at all. It looks like the first three are ragging each others fins up too so you better divide them all soon. The kamfa I had from her killed all of his tank mates one day and I wouldn't doubt one of yours will do the same.

What makes you think Uno won't be an MP...red eyes?
Yeah these guys got rough way before I expected them to. They are barely pushing 2" right now, and are already vicious. I'll be separating them in the next couple of days.

Do you know what a MP is? I'm not sure what it abbreviates down to but MP (monster potential?) usually means gigantic nuchal hump / kok. If your fish isn't showing a huge kok by 2-3" it's not going to be a MP.
This is a example of what I am talking about. One of the $5 red dragons I got from Julie @ 2.5"
this one is not even considered a MP by most. See why you should have got a few of them now?
Good call on separating them and most kamfa will grow decent sized heads but I don't ever see the fish you see as a MP ever coming close to a real MP

Oh I'm hip to the KOK. These aren't the first FH I've grown out.
I thought MP meant "Master Piece" though, so in regards to that you're probably right. This dude is going to be a Master Piece King Kamfa though. This guy isn't even 3 fingers long yet and his KOK is popping. The Titanium is bigger over-all and getting kok, but uno has him beat.
These guys are so young though it will be a couple more weeks before we know for sure.
