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.

It's pic time again!
007 spy parrot Boss peeps through the branch cave. This piece has been in both the 225 and 125 and is one of his favorites. He can view the whole tank from this angle.

Ace shows his rainbow tones here. I'm seeing early signs of a broken orange stripe pattern! The pink hrps don't always show their true pattern until later.
There's been a lot of action happening in the 225 recently. This time Bruce is the one with a growth spurt and now the tables have turned on Buddy once again. Because of their clash both have busted lips. Bruce displays his in this shot. Looks like he's doing a line of cocaine.
