Can female flowerhorns grow a large "kok" if I feed them food that gives hump growth (Humpyhead food pellets)?

The little I know of Flowerhorns, the female doesn't grow a k...ahhh, hump.
Is that what they call the hump?

Only male FH will have large kok. It's most likely genetic. The food can only help somewhat. I know that if you feed them with live fresh water shrimp, their kok tend to get larger (fat tissue built-up).
