my fh had some type of intestinal issue recently. i received some excellent advice from a friend which helped me nurse it back to health. it is doing great in all aspects except its hump doesnt seem to be growing back. it had a really nice hump prior to illness, but it shrunk considerably while sick. any advice, thoughts, or answers would be greatly appreciated. thanx
 
Give it time. I'm betting your fish didn't eat much while it was sick. It's just like how humans don't really eat during a flu/illness and lose weight. FH kok's are comprised of mostly lipids and it used most of it while it was sick. Give it time to replenish its lipid supply and it should be back to normal. Good food and pristine water will help. Good luck.
