Is a special gene called king koi guppy. Even female too developed hump head .
Some call them lionhead, king koi or bumper head.

Bump:
Does that cover the eyes? Is it effectively blind? Do you know what the actual name for this form is? I didn't find anything that looked like it when I searched for humphead.


The eyes pink in color. Is called albino king koi guppy. Even female developed such humphead.
Believed to be in the gene of the guppy.

Bump:
Feel the same, though don't want to throw shade at OP's guppy. Neat looking fish but seems to cross my ethical line since its vision is at best impaired. If this growth was bred for, I sure wish they'd have selected it for more of a clown wig than covering so much of the whole head. I'm guessing this growth opens up where the mouth is? So many questions.


Here is a link for a pair .
