mtnmonster Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I have some 2 month old and 1 month old platy fry. The 2 month old fry are just over half an inch and starting to show a little color. I'm giving them away to some local fish keepers. When are they big enough to move? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenman Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 When are they big enough to move? From birth. I've bought platies and other fish that gave birth in the bag and did fine. You can buy fry from some breeders who sell them very young. In some cases, it seems like the younger a fish is, the tougher it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineSong Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'd say the only reason to delay moving them is if the new fishkeepers need to know which are male and which are female, or only want one sex. It can take 4 months for sex to be visible, at least in my fry. As long as the folks are okay with getting both sexes, your fish are old enough to move 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
