thanks for the comments guy. i kno that his color is a little plain, but that's why it's call a gm. I guess some people like the golden color and some don't, but I have been feeding him nls to try to brighten up his gold, and turn his purple more red. Hopefully it work out at the end. His pearl is starting to look more intense, and i just cant wait to find a good female parrot to breed him. And if you guys kno anything about flowerhorn, his offspring is going to be pearly with nice short stocky body. Oh yeah, thanks for the comment again.
