Growth of Platy Fry

[mandi]

Does anyone know any websties with growth charts, pictures, etc. that shows the growth of platy fry?

I've never had baby platies before, and I'd like to know what to expect -- how long they take to mature and so on.

This depends on their growing environment. When I had plenty of space for them with good food and frequent water changes, they reached over 1 inch in 4 months. I find them to become sexually active at around 8 months of age (which took me by surprise)
