    Is that from top fin to bottom fins or the body itself ?

    About 5-6 months old if that is just a general sizing I would guess... They grow to the adult size after about a year.

    I guess because that does not take in account any stunting that may have occurred or may still be occurring.

    Around that... between 9 months (they WONT breed that young though but they may pair) up to 2 years... depends on the fish and if they are attracted to anyone in the tank :)

    I would actually guess a bit older than Lemon due to the lack of proper water maintence that LFS usually have
