Bloodred Questions

Ok, so I have a two week old blood multi het and a six month old ghost blood. I was wondering, how long does it take for them to completely turn? Im also looking to get one more, what do you look for in a high quality baby blood?
 
If you're asking when will they get their adult coloration (I can't think of anything else that yuou might mean by them "turning"), you'll have a pretty good idea when they get to and pass around the 100 gram mark, but they will still change on into adulthood (3-5 years+).

For me, I look at the parents (if possible), the side diffusion, and depending upon the exact morph, the coloration (as an example, for a lavender bloodred, I would want one that showed alot of peach).
 
They generally "hit their prime" at about 3 years of age. After that many examples start gaining black pigment. I'd would buy my baby bloodreds based on what the parents look like.

Yeah, when they're 9-12 months old, you can start to see what they'll look like, but as Susan said, it'll take several years for them to really reach their full potential.
