Expert Answer

Blood parrot fish usually develop the head bump at about 2 years; the time varies by breed and environment. Many variants exist, but mostly the King Kong and Fortune types develop it, and only males.

Other types rarely do. To speed it, feed head-bump-promoting food and provide moderate light.
