How big should my molly fry be before I can release them into the main tank? I am looking for an answer in inches. Below are my fish, minus the gourami. Thanks for your help!

Inches does not really count. what you have to look at is how big do they have to be so that they cannot fit in the mouth of any of the other fish in my tank.,

If they are bitesized, they will be eaten.

Ok thank you. And how do you tell whether they are male of female?

Jonah

Look at the fins on the belly of the fish

Triangles are girls, pointy are boys

This picture has a young boy Dalmation molly at the front and a boy guppy at the back

hope it helps

with sexing babies, you might have t wait until they are a little older to get a clear indication of there gender. And yes, please make sure that you dont release the fry until safe meaning that the fry have to be bigger than the molly's or any other fishs mouths that exist in your aquarium

mr. Clown Loach

watch out for the pictus it might eat them
