Not all are myths, the hump is potentially linked to aggressiveness in fish and hump is definitely related to breeding conditions and seeing other males in midas. This does very little compared to having right gene. Basically people sacrifice health for looks.

I never mentioned anything about breeding conditions or aggression or anything like that. imo even though a large part of their short lifespan is genetics I feel that most of it is care. I feel like if Flowerhorns were treated like other cichlids they would live a lot longer.

Sorry for not being clear. Slightly warmer temperature, high protein are part of breeding process. Showing mirror and smaller tank can increase aggressiveness. These affect hump size at expense of health. While those are minimal changes compared to right genes. If someone wants to show the fish in best looking conditions this can be done temporarily. Doing this regularly and/or to a pet fish is certainly crazy IMO too.
