I was wondering if there was a list of cichlids that get the nuchal humps. I know about the big ones, but I just learned because of another thread that convicts get them? Are there any other smaller cichlids that get them? Do male blue acaras get the humps like GTs do?
 
i will put up a few small africans that get a nice hump
cytocara moori
staetocranus causarius
 
C.sajica (T-bar Cichlid, Sajica Cichlid)
C.spiluris (Blue-eyed Cichlid)
P.Scalare (minimal)(Angelfish)

No, Blue Acara males will not get a nuchal hump of noticable size.
 
This list is just off the top of my head... Haitiensis, Frontosa, Midas, Convict, Trimac, Flower Horn, Umbee,Texas/Carpintes/Escondido, Neet, Grammodes, Dovii, Green Terror, Syspillum, and Festae. Please forgive my spelling, lol...

I'm prety sure choclates and pearsi get them too.
 
L. dorsigera get nuchal humps? Like to see that. My chocolate is starting to show something but it's not really "humpy" like what a trimac would get, he just looks like he's got a lumpy forehead.
