I have some convict fry probably around 2 weeks old now and I was just wandering how long does it usually take to get them big enough to where I can do something with them. I would like to use them as feeders when they are about an inch or so long.

Mine reached 1 inch after 1,5 month, but I had them in a big tank, fed a lot of brine shrimp and changed a lot of water.

10-4 man thanks for the reply. I had mine in a 90 but there were a few other fish in there that couldnt "hang" with the lil cons while they had little ones so I decided to give them their own space, they seem to be very happy in there new home, its very clean, the turnover rate with the filter I have on it is 17.5x per hour. All I was looking for was a rough estimate anyways, Thanks for the help dude, I appreciate it.

I've had batches of fry that grow to an inch in about a month, and then I've had batches grow out to an inch in about 2 months.
