They will take a few months (mine, usually about 2 months) to get to a sellable 1-1.5 inch.

depends on what size ur LFS wants them.
ask them what size swordtails they want and sell them when ur fry grow that size.
they usually ask at 2"-3".
feed ur fry on live food and do water changes to maximise growth.

They will grow fast w/ good quality food and water. Ask the LFS to see what size they want.
