I truly don't care (probably not the best mind set) which kind I get, I just wanted to get one that was all or mostly green. I'm not an expert on Flowerhorn so I wanted to know if being all or mostly green was because they are a certain or its a certain breed like ZZ or Red Dragon. I know I don't want a silk one though.
As far as I see, finding the right Red ZZ(Red Dragon belongs in the ZZ family, so it's either Red ZZ or Blue ZZ) will have more green than any FH out there. Thai silk is suppose to be more of a metallic silver blue.

The 3rd picture, that is not a flowerhorn...that is a sheephead fish that a fisherman caught. The 1st & 2nd picture, those are kamfa.
I thought the first one looked like a really pearly red dragon(I could be wrong and anyone correct me if that is the case). Like my avatar. He's not really green though the pearls appear green in a poorly lit pic. My guy is actually an electric blue!

Good luck picking out a flowerhorn and remember there are lots of folks on here ready to help you any way they can! It doesn't matter what strain you get just look for one that catches your eye!! You can't go wrong with a flowerhorn!!!

I had one before but didn't have the room for it and it kept trying to kill my turtle so I gave him away.
