So I've seen many of the big asian and german discus with a cichlid hump, some of my discus end up having one. I know this is not a desirable trait as it takes away from the roundness but is this something that is just genetically unavoidable as the fish mature or is it a sign of somewhat stunted growth? Just something I've been wondering about.

I believe this is indeed genetic.

buyers should ask for seeing photos or video of the parents before you buy juvenile discus.

all of mine discus don't have hump.

I think it must be some discus have hump are come from genetically.

some of Angelfish have hump too.
