ham & eggs...
seriously dat feature (the huge hump head) is wat a LOT of us desire & hope to get fr our fish. at 1st I thought it was grotesque 2, but as time went by it grew upon me (in a big way). wat separates an exceptional cichlid from his peers? the nuchal hump (among other things). otherwise they all look the same. just look at jags, umbie, JDs, oscars, other humpless cichlids, they all look the same. nothing really distinctive among their peers.
humps/koks is where its at. amphilophus spieces rule!!!

I wouldn't say 'ridiculous'. I think the point he was trying to illustrate is that the fish look like fish, and a Midas with a huge nuchal hump does not look like a fish one would expect.
If you were to bring someone to a fish show, and they didn't keep fish at all, they would pass by the oscars, umbe, etc., and would probably enjoy them as fish. Then they would see those midas, and they would probably stop and ask a few questions about it. Probably out of most of those fish, the Midas (or any other fish with huge nuchal humps, really) would stand out as it would make an impact. I can see why those statements were made.
