I think it is pretty arbitrary. Obviously something 1/2 inch is a frag. Mini colony seems to be a big frag and called that to justify higher prices

I actually happened to watch a video last night about sanjays tank and the same point came up in passing. They were discussing the size one of his colonies started out as and the guy behind the camera said some would consider that mini colony size but sanjay said to him it was still just a frag.

It's very arbitrary, but the term serves a point for larger frags to stress that they're bigger than your average frag.

If you drop the term, then at what point does a frag become a colony? If you break off half of your colony, do you call that a frag? Do you call it a colony? It's only half the size of what you once called a colony, if that makes it 4" or so multi multi branch I'm not so sure it would be considered a frag or a full colony...
