Thanks everyone for your comments!

He's gatta go soon since he's getting aggressive towards other tankmates, if anyone is interested in him, please PM me. I can ship anywhere in US and live arrival guaranteed.
 
i dont mean to be a douche but can a fish grow a flowerline if it's not born with one and shorten his face and go from red to white eye color?
 
The flowerline was always there if you look at the first pic, but it can also develop more as it grows. The face didn't get shorter just got a head and filled(thicker) out which makes it look shorter. Plus I don't think the pics are the same angle. And yeah FH eyes can change color during juvenile stages.

As for the eye color, I guess it's possible. I just noticed on the eye color too after you mentioned it but it is the same fish for sure if that's what you are wondering. Check out the main flowerline in the middle and the tail and other same traits that are same. As for getting the flowerlines, yes for sure since the before pics were when he was 1", they grow flowerlines as they grow. They don't come with flowerlines since fry. And yes the nose gets shorter as they mature, body also gets thicker too.

Hope this helps,
