Nice Chuck! Judging from the dorsal fin this looks to be a very nice male.

Firemouths are one of my favorits. If you have two girls to go with this guy then his colors will be out of this world in a year or so. I had an incredible meeki that's colors were so intense that at breeding time he looked like a cartoon. Make sure to take good care of your biological filter as these guys are VERY sensitive to ammonia and nitrite spikes. I lost all three of mine due to "over cleaning" while all the other fish in the tank survived with almost no signs of stress. This guy is going to be a great looking meeki.
