    I'm not positive but I think 4/4.5 are getting out of juvenile. I could be dead wrong that just seems to be what I heave read somewhere on here at one point. Someone with more experience will chime in im sure. Hopefully I'll learn something to as I. Curious as well.

    I think you will get different answers depending on the sources but to me...

    Fry are the first month after free swimming or around there... juvies are 1 months to 6 months..young adults are 6 months to 1 yr... adults anything over 12 months or anything younger than it that breeds.
    Size wise the above usually fall into....generally fry are free swimming to 3/4-1"
    Juvies 1" to 4"
    Young adults 4" to 5"
    Adults 5" and up or smaller that breed.


    This is totally subjective on my part...it's just how I think of them.
