I am not a fan of nuchal humps but WHOA

if that fish ever dies (knock on wood) slice of the hump and weigh it. I am curious to see how heavy it is and how a fish can swim aroun with that thing on it's head

the nuchal hump is mostly filled with water (i believe)

I have to agree with you. It seems so out of place.

I went to the phillipines a few months ago and took some pics of flowerhorns with huge kok's at a fishshow inside a mall.
Is it a philippine thing or something?

I got a 2.5" flowerhorn recently and I HOPE it doesn't develop a bowling ball on it's head. I like horns cause they have some cool colors but I just don't understand how bowling ball sized nuchal bumps are deemed attractive?

No disrespect to anyone who does. Definitely no flame intended.

The kok adds some beauty in the Fh's bro.the 1st pic is Emperor the grand champ!

Flowerhorn are considered by feng shui master as feng shui fish for the past year till the next more years to come... like the arowana in the past years.

the bigger the Nuchal hump (kok) the better as some feng shui master says that it represents wisdom... pearls for more fortune... red color for love / luck ... Plums (marking on the midline) sometimes show chinese characters resembling to luck, longlife and good fortune.
