Flowerhorn progression

[Tom LoFaro]

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

that looks alot like mine what kind is he. i bought mine as a red texas.

Kamfa?

 

[Tom LoFaro]

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?

Kamfa?

I'd be more than happy if it was a Kamfa, but it's too young to tell, I'm thinking a ZZ atm.

You are very lucky! I love it!

Definatly not, Kamfa, or Red Tex.
Simply a Zhen Zhou. Low-Grade.
Wow has he grown in the month or 2, Nice job.

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 +

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