do all frontosas have a bump on their head? and also, i'm guessing they're not suitable for a 70l tank?

I'm also guessing, but I think the bump shows only when they're mature, & not guessing,... yea they are not suitable for 70l tank....

When young they have no bump, When mature they develop a bump and the bigger the bump the bigger the role in their society they have I think....

All adult Frontosas have a nuchal hump of some size, this is best viewed when they are kept in colonies where the dominant Males nuchal hump will be clearly visible
