nice welcome to the world of faders! Theyre great and im sure youll love them.
Since your new to faders/parrots, i will share with you this fact- faders organize their social structure through black spots. Once all of them fade, the one with the most black spots will be the lowest one and the one that is solid colour is the leader. Just thought you should know that its pretty important in understanding fader societies. Hav fun!

You should take a few pics to keep track of the progress, usually once they start it's harder to see little changes. Mine have surpirsed me again this past week, they have really turned up the oranges already. Here is an update from tonight.

Well, it is a hybrid, just not a rare one. Parrots sex pretty much like other SA/CA cichlids, the males are pointy and face the rear, the females are rounder. Once they get in the three inch size range it's easier to see.
He/she has really good fins. I hope he fades for you. I'd guess female based on the shape of the dorsal and anal fin but it hard to tell with Blood parrots.
i know, the fins are larger then the other parrots in there. its the same size as the others now tho and still no fade :-S
I have one that looks a lot like this, still no fade on that one either but it's getting more color. This one looks a bit different, has a normal mouth and sloped forehead instead, but almost the same colors as yours. Here's the thread link, it has the pics - http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...0043-parrot-flowerhorn-kilrin-or-hyrbid-midas
