Please help me choose which Flowerhorn is better.

Hi,

I want to buy a flowerhorn. I started with 5 small fry but realized it would be better to buy a juvenile one since there's no way for me to find out how my fh's are going to look like when they grow up. But I can't decide which one to get. I found these 2 FH that I like in my LFS. One is the Pearly Cherry FH (as they named it) and the other is a Red Flowerhorn (not sure if it's a red dragon. it only says Red flowerhorn). Please check the pictures and help me decide.

Best to choose which fish that you like the most, as it's going to be your fish. If it was my choice, based just on looks alone, I prefer the second fish shown.

I like both of them but I can't decide which one to get. I just want to make sure I'll get a good one since it's going to cost me a lot of money. Any specific reason why you like the second one better? Thanks in advance.

From the pictures, I like the second one too. For no other reason than I like the way the fins are formed and the color of its face/head and KOK.

I picked second based on fin shape/fullness, and overall color of head and body. I also like the fire in its eyes.

So.. I made my decision and not buy either one of them and bought this instead from a different seller who was willing to give me a discount. I now have him in my 60 gal tank. My boyfriend named him sumo.
