Semi-stupid question. I just purchased 2 juvenille flower horns, does the hump get larger and develop as they grow? I know the color and marking do......
 
yes humps develop as they grow.
all male flowerhorns some what get a hump.
can you post any pics? how big are they?
 
As I'm sure you'll find out reading on here, the hump on a Flowerhorn (FH) is called the kok. I don't own a FH, but from reading on here from FH owners, they're very specific on foods they feed their fish for good nutrition, coloration and good kok growth. I'd look into a proper FH diet to achieve proper growth/coloration. Proper filtration and frequent water changes are also a necessity with these fish.
 
its all in the genetics you its all in getting it from a good breeder with strong genetics the proper food and care also helps the cause
 
^^ Yes, that is what I use. Very good food for them.
 
hope they have a good life and their koks get to a reasonable size
cause who wants a fish with a small kok...?
