Midas- cranial hump

[parado]

do all midases eventually grow a cranial hump - or ius that just some - also is it normal for them to lose their coloration (its the same fish in both the pictures) or will the black come back

They All fade in time.
All get different degrees of hump on their head.even the girls.
Yours in normal but will never have black again.
Here are 2 of my girls ...

My female had one starting at the size of 3.5 inches.....Continued to grow from there---She is now 7 to 8 inch and showing a very nice hump for a female...
