there's pros and cons w/ faders obviously but in the end, its your own personal preference.

most FH keepers like the stocky body w/ huge koks so they sway away from the faders.

i liked jin kangs when i first got addicted to FHs, which wasn't too long ago, but now i've fallen for the nice body shapes, pearls, etc of the tradition FHs.

Not all faders have small kok's. For example Red monkey a fading fish for the most part have large stocky bodies are known for mad aggro and some of the largest of all the flowerhorns and have Kok's.

yeah from what i hear red monkeys are terrors
 
it is all about personal preference. i like faders if they have pearls. i love andrews fader. it is one of the best fh i have ever seen IMHO. i don't care much about head size though. i do like a decent nuchal hump, but the fh that look like they are swimming around with a softball on their head look ridiculous. some of the koks look like they block their vision and that is just way too much.
 
I am a fader fan as I have several , including over 1500 fry and juvies up to 2", none have feded yet though, thats the part I really hate!

i like faders, but it seems to me many people don't like them because they just don't develop the kok like regular fh do. i have never seen a jk flowerhorn's kok the size of something like jp's last fish.


Most JK's are hard kok fish..

That being said faders are ok, I have a RM I'm crazy about. But I think I like flowered fish more. It's all what you personal preference is.
 
Bro I think faders are some of the best flowerhorns out. Here are a few bad ass ones. The first three I want but I dont have anymore tank space until I buy a house.
