We can not make a safe assumption as to what "reasonable size" refers to. I will be able to help you, once tell me how big "a reasonable size" is. Thankyou and good luck.

I'll assume you mean about when they will start getting they're pattern, at about 1". It can take anywhere from 1-2 months for them to reach this size, depending on feeding, temperature and tank size. To get them to grow faster, give them several small feedings a day, instead of one big one.
