Releasing Guppy Fry Into Main Tank

[Gazo]

Morning guys,
The single Guppy fry I saved is now 4wks old and doing very well.
Is there a specific length of time I should keep her separated before considering putting in with the others?
The Guppies are the biggest thing in there and I'm basically looking at the biggest mouth as my guide at the moment.
Your help/advice is appreciated.
Cheers,
Gazo

hi

yes you have the right idea if it cant fit in the other fishes mouth then it should be fine.

release it in a quiet part of the tank too . and lots of plant cover is a good idea aswell

with being the only one it shouldve had quite a bit of food and lots of space to grow quickly so it should be fine, as stated above a nice quiet place so it can find its barings and not be as scared to death of the monster size gups, TBO i feel sorry for fry being let loose into a main tank, the other fish must look like godzilla compared but not say it wont be ok cause it should be

shaz= i like your avatar, thought it was a bowl of fruit when i first looked but then realized it was snails lol

Released her last night and she is doing well this morning.
Has found herself an excellent spot under some fast growing plant with lots of spiral foliage and seems to be doing very well.
