She's been growing this bump, my trusted lfs guy said it could be an old.age thing, there's no way of knowing exactly how old she is but we guessed almost 2yrs. Thoughts??

I would say it's a tumor of some sort, I've never seen a female develop a nuchal hump (which is always above the eyes not below) and the males I've seen with the hump were all very old 4+ years.

Well then, her fins are erect and her color is good for a wild fish, hows her eating habits?

She eats like a pig and is always at the glass for food, i just added another little female gbr, new gbr and male paired immediately and spawned. They've been pretty nice to her,.I don't think they see her as a threat because she looks so different. If it's not contagious I may just move her to the 30l as hospice..

I would say she is perfectly healthy and will just have to live with a benign tumor.
