When do I need to remove the males?

My platy had fry a few months ago, they are getting quite big now and I can determine their gender if they stay still long enough. When do they reach sexual maturity? I need to know so I can seperate the males from females, I don't want any more fry.

For some of the line breeding programs we have here, we take the males out as soon as they show themselves, ie, as soon as you can tell they are males, since most livebearer fry look like females until they reach puberty.

Sounds good. Livebearers like to get right to working on the next generation about as soon as you can tell the genders.

we had a set of mollies who gave birth at six months. But I think it would be smart now just to be safe
