I thought females didn't develop the nuchal hump like this guy does. But I keep him in a 180 gallon (6x2x2) with 2 bay snooks, 2 brasiliensis, v. fenestratus, v. synspilum and 2 silver sharks.

It doesn't have a nuchal hump. It's just a rather plump fish and polleni have a distinct headshape. Most adult polleni will end up looking like this.
