He's looking great. I love the blue rim on the goldrim hybrids, my PB/goldrim has the same one.

Thanks guys- pretty awesome fish if I can say so my self- growing like a Weed- anyone know what the two 'holes' are infront of the eye? Olfactory ports?

Though she may have worms at first

That's exactly what they are. If your AT ever kept still, you'd actually see there are two pairs of two.

They are called external nares. For "smelling" or chemoreception. Water flows in one port and out the other. One set of ports on each side. Gorgeous fish. Thanks for sharing.
