Nobody has any ideas? I'm thinking it's probably just growing into it's colors?

Well, we see similar black patches, but usually on wild species from Peru. If you're really worried, you could send that beautiful male - along with any females - to me for safety.:) If the fish are behaving normally, I wouldn't really worry.
