You've got some time before maturity sets in, provide excellent water quality, and a good low protein diet (the major staple of their diet in nature is algae), and patience.

This may be just something I came up with but I think I remember reading somewhere on here that breeding cichlids at sizes that small can stunt growth of the fish as they use their nutrients primarily for breeding and not growing. So if I'm correct it would be beneficial for this fish's potential size and nuchal hump size if they weren't breeding. But I could be mistaken.

Can somebody confirm this?

I'm not sure about stunting but breeding at that size will definitely slow growth down
