what size do fry need to be to be released with the other adult fish
i heard they need to get 3 times their original size
i have one about five times his original size but he still got snapped at when i tried putting him back in

If the fry will fit in their mouth they may get eaten. I kept my livebearers well fed and they still snapped at the fry but didn't eat them Those fry are faster than you think and with plenty of hiding places will be ok.

im just afraid that the nipping will kill my fry

They get nipped? So you've seen the bigger fry nip at the smaller ones? We don't get that behaviour. They just try when the small ones have just been put in, but the small ones are far too fast.
