He is a big boy!!  How big is he? 

He has that look where he could snap at any minute.  Tank cleaning must be fun with him  :D

It's not a Flower Horn,it's an Amphilophus Hogaboomorum.

Never seen let alone heard of one. That hump is massive!
Where do they originate? Or is it a hybrid?
I am in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.

Hog's are definitely not hybrids, although being Amphilophus they have been known to spawn with others within that family.  I don't think they are very common in the trade, the only one's I've seen pics of were on the AquaMojo forum. 

He looks a menace, Jose  ;D  Does the nuchal hump develop of it's own accord or can he see another fish from his tank?
