Awesome fish. How big do their nuchal humps grow to be?

Interesting, so is the dark one a proven male.

Can females grow a hump like that?

With mine the females were almost always dark, and the "forehead" profiles were quite substantial, and...were equally or often more aggressive than the males. Although full grown, at around 3 years, females were about 1/3 smaller.

Yes the dark one is a proven male, I would have not post it if i wasn't sure, he's already paired up with a darker female, but i do have one I'm not sure of, maybe you can take a guess at

Looks female to me, but who knows going by your first pic of your dark male.

Lol I know, but the crazy thing is that it's the biggest one out of my group of 10 and it won't pair with any other male or female so it got me confused
