So it's nearly 5 months since this Chromis was born. I'm not trying to rear anymore batches until the temperature gets warmer (I cant keep anything other than my main system at a solid temps). This guy is in one of the tanks attached to my DT sharing a section with a clownfish, but separated by a net so he is easier to feed. I havent been able to get any good shots of him lately, but I just cleaned out his net last night and was able to get a great shot this morning.

He is about an inch an a quarter long from nose to fin. He's nearly the size of the smallest Chromis I have seen sold at the LFS, which were probably 1.5". Interestingly enough, he still has these yellow broken up stripes that developed at 3 weeks, so even the tiniest Chromis sold at the LFS, have to be at least several months older. I'd guess a year old at least.
