Don't really think it is a tumor. With fish to each his own or one man's poison is another man's passion.

Yes.

I don't get it either. Its like the flowerhorn's ego is worn on its head. If you baby it or let it be the most aggressive fish it gets cocky.

Some of them do have nice colors though.

well, you're in luck then, males with small koks are cheaper

Yeah im sorry to offend anyone on here but if you think a ridiculously enormous forehead looks appealing then youre off your rocker and seriously need to step back and take a good look at it. A fish with such spectacular colors and patterns should not be selectively marred with these overgrown nauchal humps-its simply gotten out of hand. I totally understand the concept of breeding for uniqueness but come on, ugh! But i must admit, its nice getting the "undesired" ones for cheaper.

If it helps, I'm not a fan either.

This post is missing the point, larger koks are a rarity. It reminds me of women who complain that they wont workout because they'll get too muscular, when in reality they couldnt get muscular if they tried. So enjoy your flowerhorn and dont fear the giant kok, you wont grow one overnight.

I always assumed kok size was proportional to health. Thus it showed you were a good owner, etc

How is it missing the point? He was stating that huge kok's are unappealing to him rare or not. The fact that this trait is desired and breed for is the main point of this post, having nothing to do with its frequency. Oh, and women can definitely get muscular, not sure where your info came from but its wrong. Them female types can get scary ripped if they want...
