2-3 cm is normal size and I breed them,Some are bigger some smaller, bigger are usually male, of course no guarantee for sex until we grow 5-7 cm, than you can see....

ok thanks but 1more ? is it normale for the male to be a little bit aggressive with female because today i was watching them eat and the female left her food to go see what he is eating and the male chased her twice.

Absolutely normal for males to be territorial/defensive about their food. After all, they go on a fast for about 2 weeks when female visits to lay eggs.
