I recently purchased a juvenile green terror, only about 2 inches from a lfs. I already have multiple green terrors but I had to purchase this little guy because as I was observing him (assuming it's a male) and his 10 other siblings, I noticed he had what looks to be a nuchal hump in its early stages. I've kept many guts and have never been able to get my hands on one with a nuchal hump. So I'm asking for your opinion on whether or not this is actually a developing nuchal hump or just a slight deformity. If you believe it is a nuchal hump, what should I do to promote the growth of it.
He is currently in a 50 gallon with an aqua clear 70 with lots of cracks and crevices for him to hide in and constantly kept at 76 degrees Fahrenheit. I do 20-30% water changes every other week. He is housed with only a small pictus cat. He is eating hikari bio gold, hikari gold, chopped up silversides, bloodworms, and basic tetra tropical flakes. I'm trying my best to provide the ideal environment for him to promote nuchal hump growth but if you think I am doing anything wrong and should make any changes, please post a response.
Thank you
(Pictures don't show exact shape of the hump, it's a bit more "pointy" in person)
