I pulled this guy out of my community about a week ago and put him in a tank alone, he's starting to take off. His head is starting to pop (though now down a little from a water change). Here he was on 12/31 in the community:

And today, his red still hasn't quite come back, but he's growing a bit, still under 3":

The mother was a red dragon, the father is this brute, was told kamalau:

Here's a couple of his siblings (that I don't own) from the same parents, but the previous batch, 3 months or so older than mine::drool:

Just for fun, this next pic is the above fish much younger, and doesn't look much different from mine! :D

Hopefully a sign of good things to come!:naughty:
 
Thanks! Here's an update for this week. His head is starting to get fatter, he's getting redder, more pearls on his gill plates. His body is getting thicker and his finnage is really coloring up too. And he's growin, around 3" now.

After a water change and day of fasting, his head's a bit bigger. He's pretty territorial, always parading around with his fins up, swatting his tail at me.

He's getting...Angrier.

He's definitely getting thicker. He's about 4.5" right now. Nice pearly head on him. Hopefully his red will get more vibrant as he grows.

At 2":
