Looks like its developing steadily with nothing exaggerated. May be a longer lived flowerhorn than most. Classic looks as well.

Yeah i love the way hes turning out. And i think most people way over feed there flowerhorns to get there kok to grow and that causes alot of early deaths in flowerhorns. I dont do that i no its mostly genetics

Yes, it's pretty easy to overfeed flowerhorn and many do. I believe there is not a direct relation with overfeeding and hump growth. I just believe the genes of large hump and fat stomach/health issue appear together more often.

Nice Short body. In my personal opinion so many short bodies don't live long because they're treated like normal Flowerhorns when they aren't, they are so much more fragile. I bet short bodies could live as long as regular Flowerhorns if more people treated them with the high level of care that they would give discus.
