    At what point would it be considered safe to move fry to a new tank?

    I typically move mine from 5.5 gallon tanks into 20 gallon long grow-out tanks when they are 30 days old. If for some reason they need to be moved when they are very young, I catch them using a small cup. Very young fry do not do well being netted.

    Sounds good, ill wait a few more weeks. About how long does it take for fry to reach full size?

    in 10 to 12 weeks they will be around 3/4 adult size and sexually mature. That last 1/4 of their adult length often takes a couple more months.
