thanks sabotage those are great pictures!

it's my understanding that labiatus develop those lips because of how the eat in the wild -- they do a lot of digging in rocks to find worms, the digging causes large callused lips.

Then, If you take a baby of a pair with the bigs lips of a river, in the aquarium not grow these lips how the fathers? thanks
 
No, typically even F1 offspring will not develop the calloused lips. They still tend to be thick, just not quite so protrusive.
