is this the one that gets a really big hump on it's head when big?

YES, looks like a Balzani but with COLOR. Also can withstand cold water like the Balzanis. Mine are at about 58-60 degrees right now. I try to replicate the seasons so I will turn on the heater around april.

"Of coarse G. labiatus should also have a rest phase of two to three months at cooler temps(8-12 C) before the temp is again slowly raised to 25 degrees C. The fish will respond by increased readiness to spawn and brighter colors"
