I did, as that's what I've experienced in the past.

I've found it rare for fish to fade, unfade, then fade again as seems to be suggested...
Also I missed the part where he said it was all orange lol I've seen blood parrots just like that but we're fading and never seen any faders fade again once the transformation was done. I keep Red Devils Midas and Flowerhorn so I've gone through my fair share of faders

What tends to happen is once they have fully faded, they will get some of the dark streaks and patches back if they are stressed or something changes in their tank. Even breeding behavior will bring the dark makings back but once they get a bit bigger, this stops. It's most common when you buy parrots and put them into your own tank. This change seems to trigger a fully orange parrot to be streaky a day or so after your get it. Most people who are new to keeping parrots or cichlids that fade, tend to freak out a bit. It's usually nothing to worry about but testing the water is always a good idea.
