Will I have a hump head?

[Macropora]

Having the right gene is the most important. Of course diet plays a role and clean water as well if your fish has the genes.

I can feed my low quality fh hikari gold daily and the kok will not pop ever since his dad/grandpa did not have kok gene.

On the other hand, I can feed my 4 inch kamfa crap food and his kok will still pop since his dad had great genes.

The one's with the slender foreheads will never have a hump and will look like any normal cichlid. It's a shame to see some being sold with the potential to develop a hump that will never happen. Good to know about the genes.

It was the fish food Grandsumo and meal worm but more importantly is space and superior water quality.

Warning! Pellets only with that's. They are genetically screwed up fish. Any amount of protein screws them up.

Younger fish do need protein to grow and have sufficient energy to thrive in their environment.

i think its 5 months old, you may add 15days to it maximum, for the kok size he will get avarage kok but i dont know if he will get super big one only the genes will tell
