2.5cm is the average size for embers...all the internet sources say 2, but until youve kept them, you cant then see how big they actually get
 
I have a few Neon's at 5cm, however most are between 3-4cm.
 
How can black skirts and white skirts be different sizes if they're the same species? :blink: :blink: :blink:
