Blue acara nuchal hump

Hard to tell what it is, but looks more like some kind of growth or swelling caused by a disease.
Last I remember, the forehead is usually located ABOVE the eyes.
I would agree that is NOT normal and could absolutely be caused by an illness such as Pugheadedness. I wouldn’t be so inclined to insult people you’re asking for help or comments from…
Hi Friends! I agree with the above comments about this being unnatural. in just about beery cichlid that I have seen, the hump is usually behind the eyes. HAve a good rest of your day!
This doesn't look like a nuchal hump to me, either. I don't think I've seen one forward of the eyes like this. With a non-naturally occurring variety such as the EBA, I suppose it's possible that another unnatural trait could emerge as well, but I haven't seen this on another EBA, either. I'd guess it might be a symptom of something else, not a nuchal hump.
OMG. I have insulted royalty!
I'll let the pundits solve this conundrum by diagnosing this as a disease....
Have a nice day!

Looks like infection trying to burst to me. Like a pimple. Males will get a steeper head (more vertical) than females but not a nuchal hump. That white spot is either infection coming out or an injury. Or a tumor.
Just sayin'.
