It’s possible yes that it could be solid white color. Orange and reddish on the body, could be. There’s some metrics of predictability for certain kinds of faders hobbyists can go by loosely, though it’s still very unpredictable. I say that’s what it could be because I’ve seen the same circumstances of fade that’s yours seems to be going through before. Where it looks like a super regular SRD Flowerhorn and then fades solid white in this sort of manner yours seems to be.
Thats a good update .thanks mate
By the way is there any size limit over start of fading ?since he is nearly 3 inches now and start to fade also at what size he will be fully faded?

No problem bro. You’re very welcome. And, no not really. Fish can still randomly fade at large adult size. It’s reasonable to assume your fish will fully fade as its continues to mature so I would say in near future but again it’s unpredictable thing. It is most likely you will get a full fade in due time though is my guess.

Just an update he is still shy and freaking suddenly when someone enters the room or near the tank but it's active and playing when myself sit in front of the tank.Apart from gravel substrate do I need to install anything to get rid of his freakiness?Advice pls.As you can see the black stripes over him since he is stressed.
