Green terror or Flowerhorn

[Chaory]

I was thinking about either getting another Flowerhorn or a Green Terror. I just recently got my first Flowerhorn about 2-3 weeks ago and I'm loving him. He's so energetic and full of life. I do however heard how Green Terrors has great personalities also and would love to own one.

Should I go for a Green Terror, since I don't have one or should I stick with another Flowerhorn, since I'm already so happy with my first one? I can get a 3-4 inch quality bred Flowerhorn from a local breeder for $20-$30.

I have two 29 gallons, two 40 gallon breeders, and two 75 gallons. It would mostly go to the 75, once it gets large.

It's really up to you. No two Fh are the same. Green Terrors can be awesome too.

You can have a green terror in a 75 decorated and with dithers
Or a nice masterpiece fh in the 75 by himself it depends what your more into

I wouldn't count on a GT having a bold personality like a Flowerhorn, if that's what you're looking for. Not saying GT's can't be like that, just chances are higher with the Flowerhorn.

I cant stand the tumor looking thing on a flowerhorn, I vote GT

It's funny, because a couple of years ago when my wife's brother in law was into Flowerhorns, he told me the kok on the Flowerhorns were tumors. At that time I was into Oscars and didn't care much for Flowerhorns. Found out recently that they were just fat deposits.

I do see some ridiculous huge kok on some Flowerhorns and do find it unappealing.

I dont mind a aeraged sized nuchal hump, but most of the flower horns are way too big for my taste. just looks like someone implanted a baseball under there. Even though I love the way a frontosa/gibberosa looks, sometimes the hump is just too big

I vote for you to keep your fh. If you already love it and it's personality why get rid of it for a fish that might not stack up behavior wise?
