Here he is a few weeks after I bought him..




And here he is now, around a month or two later.



In this one, you can see the red he's starting to develop on his stomach

I got him for $6 from a lfs. He was only marked as a Flowerhorn. I'm guessing he's a Red dragon ZZ, but I'm waiting for more development before I can accurately call it. RT shouldn't really have a defined flower line and should be more red than mine is. How old is he and how much did you pay for it?

Definatly not, Kamfa, or Red Tex.

They are probably Texas/BP crosses if they're that cheap (no offense) that would explain the Short Body one. A high grade RT will run in the 100's + :p

Exactly what I was thinking, lol. And I'm not expecting anything high grade for $6 from a LFS, haha.
