My personal pick out of these six would be the top one in this post. Strictly because I love the blue colouration. I don’t know or care much about flower lines or kok, but that blue is gorgeous.What if I threw these two in the mix

Also from what I see £50 isn’t that bad I see them here with price tags of $4-600 often and think to myself, man that one is still pretty ugly. Lol #notanfhguysodontquotemelol

Imho the 2nd one in this post is probably the best of the whole lot you've shown (irrespective of price/value, of which I'm unaware in your area). Good balance of color, pearling, interesting flowerline and going to have a really big hump if properly groomed.
I agree with both of you. In terms of quality the one on the bottom is better. But I would pick the top one because of the blue coloration and the look of the double flowering. Grade is a joke with these fish though. It's also personal preference. 50 dollars is really good price on these fish in my opinion. It depends on the area but at my lfs these fish would go for 150+ in mine which is why I seek high quality cheap price chain pet store flowerhorn.
No offence but doesnt a steak and a head of lettuce currently cost about $60 usd in canada?
Hard to choose then, both are really niceWhat if I threw these two in the mix

lol. That’s why we just hunt our neighbors pet polar bears. Cheap meat. Lettuce, who needs lettuce, I wouldn’t even feed that junk to my plecos.

and any other.Well I’ll put you in the picture, basically I was thinking of getting a flowerhorn for my new tank and was searching online and found those first four available but out of pure luck came across the second pair in a store while I was working away. I am new to flowerhorns and know a little about flower lines,pearling,shape and kok but thought these were unbelievably cheap for what they were so grabbed the both of them.here in the uk I have seen similar fish for sale well over £100.
One seem to have a smaller kok but slightly better colour so I couldn’t decide and had the both of them so I can decide further down the line, still contemplating wether to get another from the online store to grow out.
Just want to make sure they are of decent quality,healthy and thought it would be best to ask more experienced guys so thanks for your help and appreciate any opinions.
More experienced = guess that rules me out. Lol
All I have is an opinion, which can be taken with a grain of salt in the fh department.
So here it is: if you like the fish, and it’s somewhat healthy, for a half decent price. Awesome go for it. Unless you are competing in a competition or show, it’s not necessary to have show quality fish that mostly only you get to see and engage with on a daily basis.
I have a trio of heart parrots that I’m sure if I posted them on here people would blast me for having them and calling animal cruelty officers on me because their tails were clipped as babies. But the reality is, they were rescues that I picked up for less than half I would have paid in a store for regular parrots. I love them, they are ravenous pigs that out compete my pbass for food and they add tons of life to my tank. Super happy with them and no one really cares. Lol.
I also have a red dragon plukat (betta) that has won first prize in a national betta show before I owned it. I had her mate as well but he died shortly after I acquired them. She is beautiful and (owns) a 5g tank mostly to herself. Cruises around the tank and is super responsive to when people are around. She lives like a queen, almond leaves, Moss, bog wood, a variety of 6 different pellets, steady supply of cherry shrimp fry, and frozen blood worms as a treat. And even the most interested betta owners look at her and are like “meh”.
So what I’m saying is, if you like it and like the price go all in bro. If you take good care of it and are able to accommodate their intricacies of sensitive digestive systems and the such, you could possibly extend these fishes lives to live happily for maybe a few years more than the average bloke.
