Fry to Main Tank

[jennifer243]

Hello,
I have 3 balloon molly fry that look big enough to be moved out of the breeders net, but I'm not so sure yet.

They are 5 weeks old and are the biggest of 6 total fry.

I've read that they are safe as long as they don't fit in the mother's mouth.

Question is how do I know exactly how big her mouth is if I can't see inside her mouth?

I want to move them since they are developing slowly in the breeders net and the biggest one is attacking the smaller fry.

info: 6 fry, 1 female balloon molly (due to give birth), and 2 peppered cory catfish.

Well let's say they need to be an inch or bigger to go into the main tank. I release my babies when their half the size of their mothers.
