I kept my babies in a seperate ten gallon tank for 4 months then out them into my large tank. I was mostly waiting until I was able to sex them so you don't have to keep them in that long but they were absolutely fine when I put them in. I found that they grow much slower inside the breeder boxes so I'd release them as soon as they are big enough that they won't fit into the mouths of the other fish
Or if it's the same size as your smallest fish
