Swordtail Fry

[jmaster]

hey all
how big should one and half week old fry be?
just wondered coz they are still very very small
thanks

Their size is noticably larger after two weeks or so normally, but they are still small. It's all relative. My Platy fry are generally twice as big after two weeks, but twice as big is still pretty small.

ok then thanks
when do they go to like an inch? thats after few months rite?
thanks

 

[theotheragentm]

I'd venture to guess 2-3 months, depending on what they're fed and how often.

 

[jmaster]

well atm there fed crushed flakes 3 times aday and water change everyday

 

[theotheragentm]

How large is the tank they are in, because unless it's really small, every day water changes are overkill.

I can get some pics for you. I have a month old swordtail that's about 1/2 of an inch long. And I have about 1 week old swordtails and platys mixed together.
