Have a tough decision to make... I was originally intending to keep both but i dont think i can when i move. I have a female flowerhorn and what i think to be a male grammode. the grammode was kind of a dissapointment before i put him in a new tank. Now it has a way better personality and a way better appetite. I originally wanted a male grammode so thats sweet if he is.. The flowerhorn has had an awesome personality all along and to me is getting some nice colors. ultimately either fish would be going into a 55 which i know is better suited for a grammode but upgrade was always possible.

looks like a male grammode. Does it have lots of red freckles on the body?

I'd keep the male Grammode. I had one before and he was stunning at 5" . Your's looks like it's got that potential. Plus it's a pure breed fish
Keep the grammode.
 
Grammodes. Period. There should be no question. Pure genes>hybrid any day of the week.

I agree Grammode, but A really nice FH is still a sight, hybrid or not.

Personally I only like Grammodes if they develop that Dovi look to their face and head. The males become quite mean, and sport mini teeth just like their brother from another mother Dovi. Completely different Genus but such a similar build and attitude. Grammodes are shy while young then flourish into one of the more aggressive centrals out there.
 
I have always heard males get freckles below the mid lateral line. That being said, the lateral line runs closer to the top of the body than the middle, am I lookin At the right spot? If I am it has spots well below that. They are also starting to go lower than the black stripe. I got the grammode cause I don't have space for a real dovii lol. He was shy and boring at first but he's developed nicely color and personality wise :)

How much do you guys think I should sell the fh for?
