    After giving up on my "recommend" type nurseries after 9 failures, this is what I've been working with since 9 Feb. 09.
    These fry range in ages from 6 days to 98 days.

    That I don't know what knowledgeable people consider.
    For me, they are fry until I manage to get them to about 3 1/2 inches and adult when they are sexually mature which I can only tell by seeing them do their mating ritual.
    In between, they are juveniles.
