scott gallant Small Fry Posts: 5 Kudos: 4 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Jan-2006	I would like to know how long it takes convict fry to reach 1 full inch. I feed them at least twice a day even three times so if anybody could give me a possible answer that would be great(as in how many weeks or months) Thanks Alot!!!!

I can tell you that the last time I had a con pair spawn, after a year I had several that were still only around 2" (these were mostly females) and I had a couple of males in that year grow to almost 4".
