DSLR : "The Other Cichlid" : Short Bodied Flowerhorn

getting to like the short bodied ones...
 
Is this a desired result of breeding, or an anomoly? I would be curious if it is a detriment to the internal organs (something similar to stunted growth issues)?
 
Dunno. A little short for me but still kinda neat. Was it made by curving the back or reducing the number of vertebrae?
