Babies!!

Hello all,
I was just wondering whether anyone could advise me on something. I am now on my 4th batch of babies - the first batch only consisted of 2 which I spotted in my tank one day - they are now in the big tank, the 2nd batch was only 4 babies all of which have got their colours now, the third batch consisted of around 25ish and yesterday morning my female platy gave me my 4th batch which is around 27ish. I was wondering how big the babies need to be before they can go into the main tank - at the moment the 2nd, 3rd and 4th batches are in breeding tanks floating on the top of the main tanks.
How big do they need to be before they can go into the main tank without having problems such as being too small and getting sucked into or stuck to the filter.

Any help is much appreciated. xx

The tank that the babies will be going into has nothing else in there it is just for them. I just dont want them to get stuck to the filter. Thanks

Re: Babies!!

Hi, I had the same problem as you, I am on my 2nd batch of fry, the first was only 4 and the 2nd was 30.
I was told to wait until they were almost an inch before I can sell them to the pet shop so I assume thats when I can put them in the big tank.
