First post here...

So I adopted a FH from a friend and after researching and looking at pics and videos I still can not figure out exactly what kind of FH I have.

I am pretty sure it is Female...??

Also I have no idea where my friend got it.

So far it has been hands down the most aggressive fish I have ever owned... and I have had Black and Red Piranhas.

Thoughts??

you think it could be ZZ x Haitiensis? The fins look like Haits' fins.., idk. But cool fins
 
yea she loves attention and attacks everything that goes in the tank. She has bit me twice already. When I feed it feeder fish they make it about 2 inches in the water and are swallowed hole in under 2 secs. The eyes are blood red and she is a very dark solid blue and black.. with a little green accents around some of her markings. Also sometimes it seems she has a little red around her belly at times.
 
I also tried to put the largest pleco I could find at the store in the tank and she ate it instantly lol. Currently she is about 8.5" long and has filled out alot since the pic I posted. It eats everything and anything I put in the tank. It was in a 65gal community tank before it was given to me cause of its aggression and now in a 90gal all alone it has exploded in size and its fins have got really long. It also seems to have got a lot darker since I got it.. I would assume the black background with black sand has something to do with it. Also with the actinic bulb/coral life bulb the tank seems to glow and she has matched the color of the black sand with the current bulbs set up I have.
