General observation
For some reason the pinks are overall more aggressive all things being equal...I have no explanation for this. Some of the striped ones are hyper aggressive as well but most are more territorial than "fighting for the hell of it." Exceptions are Speck(F), Reeva(F), and Dusty(M). All striped ones with what I call 'hysterical aggression'.

Here's Tigger, one of Brutus' fry out of Xena. Look carefully and you see a faded pink recessive stripe pattern! Keeping an eye on this...

Absolutely love this pattern on Tigger. All of the the photos I’ve seen online of pink and leucistic hrps and cons, never one showing pink/orange bars. Very cool!

I'm hoping they darken as he matures!

Kong's having a good time. She just finished stacking her toy balls after eating. She's always moving them around, either scattered or in piles.

BP Tango and hrp Mica are the funniest odd couple. Mica acts like she runs the tank, lol...sometimes she goes in Tango's house with him. A pushy little thing!

Shots of hrp Bella, one of the G1 generation offspring. She's retained a washed out pattern except for the central stripe. Has her mother's pattern and her father's body type, very unusual compared to most of her sisters and other clan. About 90% of the females have Pip's more oval shape. She also has a pinkish body undertone that shows under certain light, a gift from Mongo.

Boss on tank patrol. He does complete circuits now that the new layout is more opened up. Any changes or additions I make he immediately investigates. An amazingly aware fish of his surroundings.
