I'd say he atleast got upto a A+ now. If that yellow/green on his face was red instead I would say he is a AA then. He seems to have gotten lucky too and got the Veija tailfin. Allot of ppl like the really wide tailfin look on FH's. Over all tho yours looks like he's improved a bit since last time. Love the pearling on his kok, just wish it was a bit bolder in the front/middle of his kok. It just seems to fade out the closer ya get to his face. Granted that could be just the lighting, angle, camera quality or he might've moved at the wrong time and made it a lil blurry. Either way tho he is definitely a FH to be proud of, keep up the good work.

There is one guy from Instagram said mine is classic breed SRD & hard to find nowadays as today SRD tend to have overly pearls especially Thailand import due to really mixed. Classic fh can lived up to 10 years with proper care as he said. Short body has short life span. He even rated mine, a classic AAA monster kok fh without asking. From fh aficionado like you, rating A+ or AA- to my fh is already make me feels good & happy. I learn a lot from this forum. Anyway, thank you bro. Appreciate your rating analysis. ?

i have just bought this fish yesterday after wanting one for so long, his body is really washed out and wasn't looking the most vibrant, the red started to come through after around 2 hours of being in my tank. he is now even redder today after feeding him some cichlid excel and gold.

he is around 8 inches, what variant and grade would you guy's say he is?

Looks to be a Kamfa. As for the grade I would place it at a B-B+. Still shows allot of that flowerline, doesn't have the pearls wrap around its face and the kok looks to be slightly depressed. Other then that tho it's a nice looking Kamfa, I especially like his finnage and pearls.

Give him a week+. He needs time to adjust. His kok should fill in and his colors will pop when he is comfortable.
