Yay!!!! Congrats. I'd add them in once they're big enough to not be eaten. Yay babies!

You can put them in the community tank when the fry are big enough to not fit in the adults' mouths.

P.S. Congrats!!!

I'll have to be careful as the biggest fish I have could easily eat them ( angel , bgkf , ram , gourami ,) so I'll just have to wait until there bigger thanks

Wrong forum. This forum is for community news and announcements. Moved to FW general discussion.

You should probably wait till the fry are over 1/2 in. Long!

I put mine in after 3 weeks, but there were only the parents in that tank and nothing voracious like angelfish. 1/2" might not be enough.

All I had in my tank was platys and guppies, and even though the fry were larger when I put them in the tank, the adults still attacked them and TRIED to eat them. They would bite them so the fry were like halfway in their mouths. Most all of them died except for the smallest one which avoided the adults I guess.
So release them when they will not even fit in the adults mouths.
