When can I introduce baby frys into the tank?

I have marigold platy frys. They are a little over 2 weeks old now. What age can I introduce them into the tank without being eaten?
When can I introduce baby frys into the tank?
i have breed fish millions of times and i usually wait until the fish are a little bigger then the head of your fish, just to be safe. It can't hurt to wait a little longer, but it can hurt to rush this.



Make sure you have plenty of hiding places for the babies, floating plants, hallow rocks, that kind of stuff.
Reply:When they are big enough not to fit inside the other fishies mouths.
Reply:i would say a month old maybe?call a vetrinarian and ask them
Reply:depending on the other size of the fish. I keep mine in their own tank until they are atleast double in size. lots of coverage when you do release them.
Reply:put them in once they are more than 8mm-1cm smaller than the largest adult platy.
Reply:Do they have folliage to hide in? Floating plants? They are still mighty tasty to the larger fish.
Reply:They should be big enough to not get eaten. Make sure there is plenty of thick plants (real or fake) that they can hide in.
