Usually. I'll only do it every few months. I also measure new fish to track growth.

Tale of the Titans. We know they're big. But what else?
These two hrp males are of the G1 generation honduran redpoints out of Pip and Mongo. Pip is striped/blue and Mongo is a pink marble with Heterochromia (two color eyes - one black one silver). Of this generation about 40% of the males are near or over 6". The other 60% range from 5"- 6". All raised in the 225. The father of these striped males Mongo is at 6". Pip is approx 4 1/2".
How Tank and Hulk are alike
1. Full Siblings
2. Age
3. Body type.
4. Sheer mass and overall size
How they''re different
Hulk-much darker in color, bluish gray. More food driven and reclusive. Chunkier. More prononced nuchal hump. Greedy eater. Gold eyes. More 'friendly.' Nested with Pip and never left her side.
Tank-more high contrast color, silver gray. More 'fit' and active. More aggressive. Nuchal hump relatively small. Moderate eater. Black eyes. More independent.
These two have clashed in the past. Hulk initially got his size first then Tank caught up. At that time Hulk dominated, chasing his sibling around. Once Tank had a growth spurt it became a standoff for some time. But eventually Hulk gained the edge again because Tank prefers quick fights and a chase. Since that doesn't work with Hulk he usually backs down (or tires out). It should be noted neither of these hrps can handle the blood parrot Boss, but that's a different story.
