Is "Destiny's Child" big enough to fit in the mouth of the older Platys?

So got the breeding box last night. Nemo, who I am hoping to call "Destiny's Child" - because he is a survivor, still freezes when the adult platys shark around him. I have heard breeding boxes stunt growth. So don't want to keep him longer than we have to. And he maybe already too big for their mouth, although that does not appear to stop them. I don't remember when he was born, sorry. Thought all the fry were gonna die so did not write down anything. But he is definitely a week old, or maybe even two weeks, or a little less. See the photo and tell me if he would be safe outside.

He may be eaten. If his head is smaller than the open mouth of the biggest fish he is too small

I agree. He may be eaten. Fish will eat anything that can fit in their mouths.

He looks too small still to be let loose, I still have a fry in my fry net after a month because the other fish were nipping his fins even though he is too big to fit in their mouths. I would give it a little more time, I also feed him 3 times a day.
