I have had this FH for about 6 months now and when I first got it the guy at the lfs sold it to me for $4 because it was completely silver and didn't look like it had any potential he said. I got it at about 2.5", and now it is somewhere between 7 and 8" and thick. I don't have much experience with FH, but from what I have read this looks to be a ZZ Red dragon???? Also what do you think it would be worth? I am moving in two months and I was thinking about selling it and then getting a higher quality fry to grow out. What do you guys think?

Sorry about the pic quality, I took the pictures right before it's light was about to go out, so (he/she?) got sorta spooked and stay at the bottom of the tank behind fake piece of coral. I had to take pics from the corner and the is quite a bit of reflection.

early zz (zhenzhou) strain. Looks to have lyonsi blood in him to me. Aside from not having much color he actually looks decent but the color might come if you added some colored gravel and a background. I would sell him and get something nicer to grow out if I were you.
 
I will be moving in December and this tank will get a medium blue background painted on to it then. I will see about getting one of the films from the lfs as a temporary solution. What do people think about me keeping this one, or selling and getting another juvie to grow out? I want one with a decent kok, and this one doesn't look like it has the potential for one? What price should I ask for if I was selling this one?
