I have petitioned the MBI council for lattitude as my last photo was shot at 106 days post hatch of my second batch. Here is a link to that petition - http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/tm.aspx?m=42439
The juvenile from the first run only lived to 93 days because it did not wean onto prepared foods well (happened too late?). Batches #2 and #3 each yielded an additional single baby. The baby from batch #3 jumped whiel I was on a family vacation, and was about 4 months old. The baby from batch #2 lived to be 6 months old, and was around 1.25" when it died from a suspected case of amyloodinium.
As the actual "settlement" point is a moving target depending on who you talk to, it could have happened as early as 28 days or as late as I believe, which is 55-56 days post hatch. I simply didn't bother to take any additional images of the babies as I was busy taking copious photos of new batches. Thus, the last image I have of baby #2 is 106 days post hatch, and I ask that the MBI council accept that as sufficient proof of the 60 days post hatch achievement (depending on who's settlement date you want to take, I'm either 9 days short or well within the 60 day requirement!)
Here is one of the last images I shot of these juveniles - fish on top is batch 3, 92 days post hatch, and fish on the bottom is batch 2, 106 days post hatch:
