When Are The Guppy Fry Old Enough?

[Chris&Phia]

When will my guppy fry be old enough to release back into tank with the adult fish?
At the moment they are almost five weeks old and have been living happily in a fry holder thing in the tank. i have five adult guppies, 2 panda corys and 1 bristlenose plec in the tank, when will it be safe for them?

Thanks, Phia.

when they are big enough not to fit in the adults mouths, corys/bristle nose wont touch them

They will be fine after about 2 weeks of age if you only have guppies.
I rear all mine with the parents, as if their well feed they will not eat their own fry (well perhaps the odd one or 2).

Cory's will not eat them, but i have seen bristlenose pleco's actively hunting and catching fry. But again this is only an odd 1 or 2 in years.

i never seperate guppy fry from parents, they never seem to eat much of their young like platys/mollys do.
