Probably a stupid bristlenose question....

But when do fry start to get their bristles? I posted some time ago that I had my first batch of longfin BN fry....which soon followed with another group. Unfortunately, I had some death, but I have 36 little guys - all in various sizes - would never have guessed it was two batches - looks more like 5! 
Anywho, there are a few that are probably 1.5" in body, 2-2.25" with their long fins. But no bristles on ANY noses of ANY of the fry. How old do they get before they get them?
