Hi I Need your suggestions to buy a flowerhorn.
I am a newbie and does not know what a Magma is.

Both are beautiful and will have huge kok's. Since its your fish you should choose. Both are high quality with a lot of potential. Do you prefer red or blue? Lol. I like the pearls on the bottom one, the red should come through as the base on the front part. But his body is kinda long. The top one has better body shape but lacks pearling... Though it may just be the pics. Price is whatever someone is willing to pay. In my neck of the woods those would be $150+ fish.

Thanks a lot for your valuable comment and suggestions..
Both are imported from Thailand and got good parents..
I am kinda confused.. if you have to buy which one will you go with?

Also plz let me know difference between a SRD and Magma
 
A SRD or super red dragon and magma flowerhorn is just what the sellers want to call a zz flowerhorn. Their traits are zz flowerhorn traits. They looked at the fish and said the super red dragon is super red, so they called it a super red dragon for hype. The magma's red looks like magma or lava in the flowerhorn's design and colors, so they called it a magma flowerhorn for hype. They have been essentially the same traits that classifies them as Zhen Zhou flowerhorns.

Which one would I choose? I'm leaning towards the magma... But his long body in that pic bothers me... I would need to compare them equally. The first pic is so undefined, and the angle is different. So that will skew my judgment. I need a better pic of the first one to give you a definitive answer. Just judging from the pic you can see he has a better body shape and flowerline than the magma. I'm sure the first one looks a lot better than the pic shows. There is no way he has almost no pearling and just a plain white base. If he does I would easily pick the magma. I'm sure you won't be disapointed with either.

Both are nice. But just my opinion. I would pick the magma. The red dragon has nice red and a better flowerline. In time with some quality food, clean water, and care that red dragon will develop his colors. I just like the magma better between these two overall. Let us know which one you choose!

SRD are a classic purchase can never go wrong. Magma was what I was going to suggest and seems like you bought it!

I like oddball fish I miss my King Kamfa he looked similar to your magma.
