I find it odd you misspelled Thai but still used the work kok. It's a thai silk, it's a nuchal hump.

3-5 times a day is a lot for any fish unless you feed hardly any of it every time you go to feed it.

Try cutting down two 1-2 times a day or just 1 time a day

All Thai silks I’ve seen always have baseball sized koks.If anything with
