No, they're not meant for eating like Tilapia, Tuyo and Bangus

Although, if you like eating fish...they do look mighty tasty...they're VERY meaty!
They're just nice fish...big, active, aggressive and very easy to care for....I just heard that they were kinda common pet fish in many households in the Phillipines so I was asking if anyone had any. Some of the best looking Flowerhorns come from the Phillipines.
Here's a clip of a big one in a Davao, Phillipines pet store.
