Platy should be fine but I would leave the other one for a while longer. Let it get a bit more bulk on it

You talking about the white fish? The white fish is actually a Molly and the other one is a ( spacing out ) ???

I would assume they will be fine as long as you have small hiding places. That's how it works in the wild, why should our tanks be any different.... kinda... ha

They look already very big. I usually don't let fry stay in the breeder box longer than a week or 2.

I do have a prefilter sponge to keep them out of the filter though.

The Molly is definitely big enough the guppy(I'm assuming that's what that is)looks a little small but should be fine. I'd release them when you have plenty of downtime and watch them for about an hour to be sure but they should be fine nothing you have seams too aggressive


Keep calm and drum on

If you don't have any plants in your tank, now might be a good time to put in a little grove - plastic or live. Also a live floating plant or two for additional hiding spots would make your smaller fish feel safer and you a little more comfortable.
