Stefanie, good question. I will say the breeder stated they were 9 weeks old when he sent them and I’ve had them for about a week, so 10 weeks. I will check with the breeder again, maybe he meant to say months instead of weeks.
I forgot to mention that these fish are no more than 1.75cm total length – some even less. Perhaps the camera zoom gives the appearance that these fish are larger?
About how long, on average, does it take paro young to attain 1.75cm? At the rate my nagyi fry are growing, I am thinking they will be well beyond 1.75cm after 10 months (40+ weeks.) Some are already approaching 1cm after just 8 weeks or so.
