lol, sorry about that, haven't had platies in awhile, but the number 32 seems to stick with me.

32 days?
And how old do they have to be before they can be sold to LFS?

 

[Tempestuousfury]

3-4 weeks, depending on temperature, size, and sexual maturity.

It depends on the size that your lfs wants them to be, normally about an inch or more.

OK thankyou

 

[LoachLover]

Yep usually at least a inch long.

I won't let my guppies or Metallic's till there sexauly mature, normaly 8 weeks +

but my LFS knows me so well, they would take them alot younger, depends on the shop realy.
