Ive had this fella for a while now, he/she/it is about 10 inches in size. it recently has developed a slight head noch since i moved him up to the big boy tank from my grow out, I have been trying to determine what gender it might be, will try and get more pictures to add if necessary.

Yes it means hes a healthy male

 

[Sinister-Kisses]

Well. It's one name. Nuchal hump is better

As far as I know its only called a „kok“ when its a flowerhorn. The common term is nuchal hump.
Also females can develop a nuchal hump so its not a safe indicator that it‘s a male.

Kok is an Asian term, used to describe nuchal humps in flowerhorn, a man made fish, that originated from species originally collected in the Americas, some that are capable of growing large nuchal humps.
