Quite often when I am just browing through threads I see people ask how to get a big hump on their Midas, and most of the time people ask "what do you feed"?
So I feel I need to share some of my own experience.
As for me, food never made that much of a difference, but water quality, dominance and tank size did.
The Amarillo in my avatar had this huge nuchal hump when he was in a 200 gallon dominating over all the other cichlids flaring all day long.
After I put him in his own tank, his nuchal hump was all of a sudden a lot smaller. I fed him the same and the water quality was even beter then in my big tank, but the nuchal hump never came back.
That's just my input, since I feel too much attention is drawn to the food part (not saying that that isn't important of course).
Kind regards,
Mark
