Looking for a FH that will have a huge nuchal hump
hey bro, you can't always tell how a fish is going to mature and what it's going to look like. There so many things that can determine if a fish wil have a hump and how big it will be. . genetics, tankmates, setup, quality of care and so many others.

Some people put mirrors in there tank and hang them in the middle and have them double sided so they can charge at them and be dominant. That promotes hump growth. but check it out, you can't leave the mirror in there because he will think he is a pussy if can't beat that other fish in the mirror. because that other fish is him. so you could introduce the mirror every few days and let him have at it. then remove it and he will think he won, and will be self confident.

hope that helps, dogg
 
you may also want to get a miror that has a plastic edge around it so it doesnt hurt your fish.
 
There should be some quality breeders out east, check them out. They should be here and on other specific flowerhorn forums like fhc
