Flowerhorn Competition Scoring — Judge Criteria

Competition judging is numerical. Each category has a point value. Top fish hit near-max in every category.

By 4848 One FarmPublished April 21, 2026

Kok (25-30%)

Size, shape, balance, color. Perfectly rounded dome scores highest.

Missing or crooked kok is disqualifying in most classes.

Body (20-25%)

Shape, length-to-height ratio, spine straightness, belly fullness.

Ideal is the "baseball player" — thick but not obese.

Color and Pattern (20-25%)

Color intensity, pattern definition, pearl coverage.

Specific strain standards apply — Kamfa judged differently from SRD.

Fins and Tail (15-20%)

Size, symmetry, condition, color match with body.

Torn or ragged fins deduct heavily.

Deportment (5-10%)

How the fish carries itself — alert, active, displaying.
