What is peoples history with their fry reaching these sizes in months?
1.00 inch
1.25 inch
1.50 inch
2.00 inch
2.50 inch
3.00 inch

Just so we're clear, are we talking SL or TL?

I'd prefer it if we're all talking SL myself.

huh?

Standard length versus total length. See here for more (hint - go to the link at the very bottom of the page for a quick diagram):

Back in the day everyone used SL, but now, at least in the states it seems everyone use TL.
TL works fine, but if you have long finned fish, then of course SL works best.
just as long as the buyer knows what method is being used.
course i went to go look at a 10 inch frontosa a few weeks ago, and it was not even 8 inches, who knows what system he was using.
So for this topic you can use what ever method you would like, just as long as you tell us.
such as 2.00 TL, or 2.00 SL.

Which is exactly why it's a good idea to be consistent abou this and use SL for all fish, no matter what type it is

Oh, ok......

OK, at what age in months would people estimate the above sized zebras to be, using SL?

At one inch I would say 9-12 months...

four of my zebs are about 14months old and are about 1.5inch the other two are 1inch but im unsure of the age
