1. Total
Length. This is the intuitive notion of the
length of the fish. It is measured from the nose to the end of the
fish tail. It may not reflect the true size of fish as some fish have
long tails or nose barbs.
2. Standard
Length. This is generally the size that most
hobbyist refers to when they say their fish is about 6 inches. It
is measured from the nose to the end of the body, excluding the tail.
3.
Body Depth. To a lesser degree, this is
seldom use unless for fish with broad body such as Central American
Cichlids or Angelfish. This is the whole depth of the fish (in most
cases is the body depth).
4. Head
Depth. This is the head width or depth.
