Ive had my baby platty in a breeding box for nearly a month. Roughly how long do i keep it in one of these until i can put it in with my other fish??
 
It depends on how big the other fish mouths are. 
What fish do you keep?
They say it usually safe when there can't fit into an adults fish mouth.
 
I have plattys and guppies.
Thanks for your reply
 
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
