Flowerhorn or Red Devil

With both flowerhorns and red devils its all about the individual fish. I have seen 7 inch red devils that I swore was lucifer reincarnated, while I have seen 3 inch flowerhorns whip on fish that are 5 times their size. I would go to some different shops and find one that you like the look of and that will attack anyone that gets near its tank. I had a flowerhorn that would play with a ping pong ball with me and hit it out of the tank, its all about the fishes personality!....good luck....both types are awesome!
Personally, from experience- I have found that my 5" FH is more aggressive than my 10" Midas.
I had 4 Midas in a 90 gallon temp tank, and they were all puppies. I rehomed 3 of them, and kept the male- he's in a 180 with some red terrors, jags, and a larger FH.
So my large midas and large FH are puppies, but my 5" is a terror!

I've never owned a red devil but I recently (within the past couple of weeks) purchased my first flowerhorn and he has great personality. I bought him at about an inch and he's gained about half an inch in 2 weeks. Always hungry, eats like a champ, and always comes to the glass to greet me when I enter the room.
Couldn't be happier with this fish.

I have both in my tank and they are both pretty cool.The RD is about 10" and the Flowerhorn about 3" but the flowerhorn probably has a bit more personality.
From what i hear all the time flowerhorns see red a lot..but red devils are imo awesome..but like some ppl above said it is all personality..
Both have similar personalities and pet like tendencies. Flowerhorn are bit more fragile so I would suggest a Midas/Midevil unless you are getting a low quality local store one.
