giant and anal fin

lately i noticed that the bigger the giant, the thicker its anal fin is. i'm referring to giant hmpk of course. it seems, as our giants getting larger in size, i can notice the tip of its anal fin (towards the pointy end) is slightly bigger than its body width (body that holds that anal fin -- the pointy part).

i usually only noticed this effect when you get old standard hmpk fish. when they get older, their anal fin is getting longer. funny that our giants are very young, only about 2.5 to 3 months and many of them have huge, large, finnage. ok, their size is about 2.2 to 2.3 inches but it's so nice to see they grow so fast and so big in such short amount of time.

Some of them are ready to spawn already (and we've spawned them). that large anal fin and caudal fin prove to be very useful to wrap the female.

talking about female. their sibling female has nothing much special. good caudal fin spread ranging from 2, 4, and 8 rays. but otherwise, their body is very large with nothing special on finnage. it is still cute to see them dances with the male. of course they're not afraid of the mail, cause they're just as big as the male (with exception that the male has bigger fin).
