You guys should at least read the stickies on this forum before posting you will find alot of the answers you are looking for.
yea do you mean a water kok? But its just good genes, that's what will be the decider of the size. I have one point of disagreeing is that its not fat its muscle or protein. Heres a head cut open. Its a bit graphic so you have been warned.

Its fat.
The genetics must be there but without proper care the head wont pop as big as it could. Like the op's situation. Feeding bad foods, keeping your fh with other fish, trying to breed it with another male flowerhorn etc will hinder the head growth. My water kok silk's head will drop if a female is bothering him or he isnt feeling well.

This is untrue, a flowerhorn is 90% genetics and the other 10% is water quality, food, a how often it is fed. You cant make a low quality fh a high quality fh just because you take "proper care" of it. A stunner will be a stunner regardless of conditions unless its drastic. The head IS NOT FAT. Its protein, how are you going to argue a picture of a flowerhorn's head cut open? You think that red meat is fat? Its protein or muscle, there is a small sack of fat under the kok but that is so minimal.
Look at the fh's food that claim hump growth, how much protein does it have compared to regular fish food?n Okkio claims upwards of +60% protein and why? For muscle development which is the key aspect of the fh's hump.
Where are you coming up with that a fh's kok is made from fat?
So you are saying you can take a fh with head genetics, feed it garbage and not do waterchanges and it will still grow a large hump? Where are you getting this 90-10% stuff? Nuchal hump is a fatty deposit period. It may be red in whatever picture but its fat. There may be muscle there but its fat storage.
Its not fat, its muscle lol sounds like a fat man's line.

Also excess protien is stored as fat. Do you think a fh stores "protien" in its head? Lol Im sure it doesnt work like that.
Carry on.
Carry on.
Read post #43 in the thread of the link you posted.
It is bizzare to think a fh grows a huge useless muscle on its head.

Ok maybe you should read ill make it bold so you can figure out what I said.
Have you ever had a high quality fh? I dont think you ever had. I'm talking about experience and your going to tell me this is fat?
Do some research before you think you know everything.
