What's with flower horn's color??? Help!!!

[Latin726]

My flower horn is about a year, and he lost tattoo. Caudal fin is discolored. Please, give me some advice what to do!

Looks like he's just fading. I would expect him to go a more off-white/pinkish color over time.

Thank you for your reply. I was worry he is sick because i thought FH shouldn't fading. He started to change color about two month ago. How long time does it take to get his finish color?
Sorry for my english) I can't get enough information in russian

I would agree. Looks like your flowerhorn will be a gold base / fader. Good looking fish!

I've honestly never had a FH survive more than 6 or so months. Hex or ick always comes around. I have very bad luck with them, personally. I would think over the course of a couple months, maybe a little longer and he will be mostly faded. He's a looker!

Is there some way to speed up color change? May be i should feed him special food? I've tried hikari but he doesn't eat it. Please advice some feed

I've had thai silk before, couldn't cure, guess it was hex. Now i have 3 FH - thai silk again, this fader and small one but i don't know how it calls exactly

What kind is it?

Magma. Kind of like a SRD but usually more pearls, wider fins, and thicker body
