I just noticed that my blood parrot is growing a hump in his head. Is this normal? He's in a 67g with a red severum. It's just like a little kok. I would take pictures after I come back from school to make it easier to explain :)

Look forward to the pics :)
 
The first two pics are my bp (as you can see there's a little hump on his head) and the 3rd pic is what I know what bp should look like. From what I researched mammon can close their mouths right but my bp cannot close its own mouth.

Wow stunning fish. Faders I'm assuming? Light pink and albino. If you don't mind me asking did you get these from Thailand?
 
Oh okay lighting made a big diff then! Awesome fish though. I'm looking for a monster blood parrot right now to go in my show tank. How big is yours?
 
yes it really made the fish less pale. I would suggest getting a mammon parrot but they cost a little bit high that the bp's. I think it's 7"+ right now. It's been with me for almost 2 years
