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.

In time he should improve. When in doubt a fresh WC should help in some regard even just a 10-25% and gravel vac the floor of the tank. My fish are always most comfortable with just me anyways as thats what it is usually and if people who aren’t accustomed to the fish visa versa, might approach the tank differently then the fish is used too with just you. Should be less dramatic with time though as fish establishes his place in the tank, in the location it’s in, in the room it’s in, and surroundings, frequencies, etc…

Let’s see what happens. It is just fading though. Nothing is actually wrong with the fish causing this.

Yea but the thing am worried about is the body color has not been transformed.
