No eggs in 2 years? Mines around 4" so several months old and she's laid eggs 2x now. Maybe sometimes females never lay eggs? I dunno.... It's my first time having a female I've had all males in the past.

Lower temperature might decrease the frequency. What temperature do you have in your tank?

Never really cared if its laying eggs or took any attention to look for that in the aquarium. Always thought it was a guy. I keep mine at 31°C.
 
The thing is that, i didnt really cared if it had a kok or no, because for a flowerhorn i paid it around 80$, so i knew it wasnt a high grade or anything. I just liked my fish. Took care of it as much as i can.
But lately i started thinking, it has quite nice colors, but why no kok at all . . . Even low grade flowerhorn has some kind of definition there. So i started to wonder if its a female and that would explain the abcense of a kok.
