Introducing Platy Fry

[Guppi32011]

I have 3 platy fry in a 10 gallon at the moment, they are just under 2 months old yet they seem quite tiny. The one platy is about 1-2cm long and clearly bigger than the other two which are about 1cm and quite slim. When should i put them in community tank because i need my 10 gallon for a betta im having.

P.s. I have a breeding net, would they still grow if i put them on that in the community tank?

What else is in your community tank?
My red corals went into the community tank after a month. they were 1-2 cm long and are fine. they are 2 months old and are a bit bigger now.
breeding nets will stress them and could stunt their growth.
If they won't fit into any of the fishes mouth in the community tank then put them in.
I would avoid the breeding net though...

Thanks for the reply. I have 2 dwarf gouramis, 5 tiger barbs, 5 danios, 2 platys, 2 mollies and 6 neons.

I would take them to the store, as even of they do survive. Your tank will have even worse stocking than it already has

In fact... I would move the neons into the future Betta tank so the 10 gallon has "lighter" stocking
