Question, why do you say that it's not in good condition? It looks fine to me. Looks like a fader/red dragon so if it's the color blotches your worried about that's normal for allot of fader's. I feel like I'm missing something that's obvious here, but for the life of me, I just don't know what it is.

Lol np. Yeah that's completely natural to end up with a fader looking like yours does. It's just most ppl tend to cull the ones that don't fade completely as most ppl don't want a half faded fader. Here's some pics of ones that I had a couple years back including the mother. Lol you can also see the almost complete fader "Star" as a baby in one of the last pics.

i LOVE that there white!!!!
Lol they don't stay white sadly but I do agree that they do look nice that way. Btw this is how Star turned out 2 years later. She is just gorgeous now imo even tho she didn't stay completely white like she was as a baby. The mother was also one of my favs for how her fins looked. Still kind of regret rehoming her honestly. Btw Star was the runt of the litter so even at 2.5 years old she's still only 5in while her big sister is pushing 9in already.

Still no clue on why some of Star's pearls are orange instead of blue. Never seen another FH with orange pearls before her. Hoping to get her a bf and see if I can replicate it and maybe line breed em to produce only orange pearls.
