    Matt I have some that are 7mm at 2weeks after laying.

    So yours seem like they are at the right size for their age.

    I think they should be able to reach around 3cm in a month given lots of food and clean water.

    I stripped the female 13days after laying and they took BBS straight away and are still eating this 3 days later.

    I tried giving them some 200-300uM INVE proton but they are still a bit small to take it. http://www.inve.com/fish/index.asp?id=152

    Exactly 3 weeks from laying they are 1cm. Eating fry food now and seem to be growing a bit quicker.

    4 weeks - 1.5cm
    6 weeks - 2.5cm
