Default How old is my angle fish?

When sizing angle fish the fins are not included, and they generally
are sized in accordance with coin sizes.dime, nnickle, quarter, half
dollar etc etc...Odds are its more than 12 months unless it has had
high quality food and lots of it poured to it, and its from good
stock, but anyone that can claim they can tellthe age of a fish by
size is full of it, and thats what Zebulon aka Carol Gulley thinks she
can do....If you just have to know exactly, put a scale under a
microscope and count the rings/ ridges just like a tree...or if your
lucky enough like CArol Gulley she just asks her fish how old they
are, she has em all trained like that, being the professional breeder
that she is....or at least that what she would like to have you
believe......

There is just too many variables that affect size bogth during the
time it is an egg as well as a fry, to fingerling to juvi to adjust
hood that can affect size to age corelation....

erm......so we're saying it's less than 12 months? is it more or less
than 6 months?
========================
At 2" it's surely older than 6 months. Are you INCLUDING the tail? They grow
at different rates of speed even under the same conditions. The better the
conditions and food, the better the rate of growth.
