hey guys, i was wondering what is your opinion of my new fish. I was supposed to get one from lee in vietnam, but he had some paperwork due and i waited over a month and right before shipping he informs me that the fish i was getting got sick and is going to die.he agreed to pay me back full soon.it was this flowerhorn

so after that, i talked to wut lake fish and gave me a great price on a golden based srd for just a little more than what i paid for that fish from lee.this is the fish here:

the other fish looks better IMO but to someone from thailand the one from Wut would look better, it has a bigger head and more defined pattern. Just depends on what you want. If you were going to show him, a thai judge would like the thai one, a vn judge would like the vn one
 
thanks for the replys guys:headbang2i agree that the other one had more potential but nothing i can do now since he's sick/dead.lol thats true kaliedoscope. every country breeds their fish for a certain trait that sells to their customers, but starting to see more of everything since shipping expanded who can get what.thanks fhlov!
 
@ chrisplosion:yeah its personal preference i guess lol i myself am biased because i love srd's lol
@bastardfish:lee offered to replace it with these 2, I was thinking about getting the Vip KK but i liked the first one more.he hasnt gotten back to me in a while.so idk when hes refunding or hes going to offer me more replacements.
