Repatriating Molly Fry

[Ian R]

I've been raising 4 Molly Fry for about 6-7 weeks now. I've raised them in a separate small tank and they've now reached about 1.5cm long. Was just wondering at what size they will be safe to go back into the community tank without the risk of them getting eaten. As well as 3 grown mollies, i've got some bleeding heart tertras that i know can be veracious eaters and i'm worried they'll go for them?

Ty in advance for any advice.

I have molly fry only 1 week old in my community tank and the fish leave them alone.

It depends on the size of the fish in the tank. If they are small fish then it should be ok to put the fry in when they are about a half inch. If they are larger I would wait til they were at least an inch long.

I always wait until mine are about an inch long to be on the safe side...I watched my female betta suck one down that was close to an inch long.
