[bull230k]

is it just me or do these 2 fish look identical as juvies? when they mature do they look the same too?

Lyonsi is a natural cichlid species. Flowerhorns are a man-created hybrid.

Lyonsi is a species of fish in the Amphilophus genus...

Flowerhorns are a hybrid of several species mostly from the amphiloophus genus...

other than the fact they are both fish, just about everything is different

No one has answered the question. Yes, they look different as adults. Do a google search or search the names here and see what pics you can find from users. That should help.
