MatteoTheEnder22 I just need to clarify something from an earlier post you made. Rose Queens are insanely aggressive. In fact I have never seen a Rose Queen that wasn't super assertive and aggressive. Rose Queens are insane.

Really? Huh weird. Everyone I've ever seen were the exact opposite and we're honestly wimps. Guess that just goes to show how different their personalities can vary. Granted all the ones I've seen were in lfs so they were probably just stressed out.

Well i guess it depends on the individual fish especially cichlids in which they have so many different personalities

Yes I understand that. It's a test to see if the higher ph would help improve his head. If not it will be changed. My tap is about 7.6 already so with the crush corals it should be about the 8s somewhere.

A fish developing a large head is 95% genetics and 5% good diet and water. That beautiful hybrid you created looks like it will have a small hump like the father. High PH water is not going to make it any bigger. If your tap is already 7.6 then a coral substrate might raise your PH to insanely dangerous levels for that fish.

I am not really sure about this but somehow pH and hump size relates. Breeding environment and seeing other males cause fish to grow hump. May be certain pH range increase gondal hormones.

Off course this would be minor. Genes do the most job.
