Personally I prefer long body over short when it comes to FH's. Short bodies remind me too much of BP's and if I wanted a short balloon of a fish I'd probably get a parrot again. Been thinking of trying fine polar parrots again at some point. Granted there are some very nice looking short body FH's out there, I know JSpilo has one I wouldn't mind having lol.

I really liked that one. Why not try a longer body next time.
My tank isn't wide enough, and my wife forbids me from getting a new tank unfortunately, so I'd have stick with short bodied. Where our tank is placed it would be a little in the way if it was wider, so I can understand her concern. Sucks though.

Thoughts on his quality?
Well to be honest, I'm not really a fan of Thai Silk. I couldn't give you any feedback regarding quality, I'm not too familiar with them. Personally, I like pearling & color like Ruturaj Ruturaj has. And of course like my little guy, Golden Base.
