Hi I have fish from probably the same batch but as of right now I cannot capture the quality of the red. I have one in a light background and one in a dark background. Both are developing as expected and started with color at around 6-7 inches on the cheeks. Both are feed a diet of only pellets right now. One is orange and the other is deep orange and they are about 8-9 inches color is also developing on the scales. I will post photos once I get better lighting. Hope this helps.
Please do post some photos.
