Age or size to sell Cacatuoides?

Hi all
I have roughly 50-60 Cacatuoides fry I’m raising to move on.

I was wondering what a good size or age to sell them would be?

They are 3 months old, (free swimming on 25 December)
And the largest is around 3-3.5cm while the rest average around 2-2.5cm with some TINY ones still hanging around the bottom.

Thanks for any advice :)

I have received 3.cm size from a top breeder on several occasions.

They should be saleable when you are able to sex them. From the photo I saw (impressive for 3 months!) I'd say now is a good time.
Perfect! Thank you very much Mike! These were raised on Hikari first bites, and later moved to crushed vibra bites, discus bio gold and a small amount of vege wafer, the size would be due to the 6x small feedings a day with maintaining a near zero nitrate level as they are growing out.
