[Dawney G]

If they won't fit into the other fish mouth that's when it's safe to release them back into the tank.

after about 3 months because they are big then ive got 1 guppy which i saved ages ago about 2 and a half months ago in with my 5 week old guppy fry 28 to be exact just wait till you see the tail gettin bigger like a fan it will go really round thats when you let him in.

I just set free 7 eight weeks old guppy fry in my 20g tank with the other fish in my sign. I was worried about my swords and mollies because they're big (2.5-3") but they chased them around for a little and then they were left alone. Make sure they can compete with the others for food, you dont want them to die of starvation after you took such good care of them. Its a great feeling to let them loose with the adults. A feeling of accomplishment.

it is but once i doid that and the adults mistaken them for food all that money spent of fry breeding equiptment gone to waste.
I would say like the other guy 3 months
