does the name kok bother anyone else?
i mean thats a strange name for a bump on the head of a fish.
who thought of this???
it just bothers me everytime i read it.
 
Lol. I have thought this too.

Translates poorly into english thats for sure !!
 
Cam is correct, coke is the right way to pronounce kok. I usually say nuchal hump if I am talking about it too.
 
:ROFL:thats prop true !!! sadly
even coke makes no sense
hmmmm..... this fish has a bumb on his head.... i think he is the best fish ever..... and im drinking a coke which is the best drink ever so we shall can this bump, coke..... :screwy::screwy::screwy:
 
I think KOK is the most absolute and correct way to describe that part of a Fish. Here are just a couple reasons why...

1. It is mostly composed of fat and blood vessels...
2. When you are chilling around the tank (or park) it always gets in the way...
3. Weekley water changes that result in different parameters (IE Temperature) make it smaller...
4. The bigger it is, the more of a chance it will hinder eyesight...
5. Females don't have them, or if they do....(eww).......they are always smaller...
6. The bigger the better...
7. Above average size may cause back problems...
8. It is the prefered place to be touched/rubbed...
9. Having PEARLS all over them makes them way more valuable and appealing...
And Finally...
10. New-Borns are judged on potential size, and every father (or breeder) hopes their offspring are well equipt for the future.

Just my take on the subject.
Hahaha
