KOK?

[pcfriedrich]

What the hell is a KOK? I know what a nuchal hump is, and I'm pretty sure its the same thing as a KOK. Why do people call nuchal humps KOKs? I mostly see that term in reference to flowerhorns. Wait a second, is KOK a euphamism for a male chicken? maybe not. just trying to figure out the diference between a KOK and a nuchal hump. How do you pronounce KOK, anyway?

refers to the hump on the head of male cichlids, or bump.
typically found in midas cichlids and other amphilophus species.

in term of pronunciation it is pronounced like "coke" not "cock"

KoK = Flowerhorn term for 'Nuchal Hump'.
Nuchal Hump = Correct term when referring to the anatomy of the fish.

They like having things different.

If a exC. pearsei has a large hump on it's head, it's a Nuchal hump.
If it's a Flowerhorn, it's a KoK.

Whew, that's enough Flowerhorn talk for me for a week.

This is true.

Nuchal Hump = Correct term when referring to the anatomy of the fish.

From what i heard KoK or "coke" is an asian term for the Nuchal Hump on a flowerhorn fish or cichlid.
