I have a pair of swordtails, a pair of plattys, 2 male guppys and 3 females. One of my female guppy's gave birth to 17 fry's around 5 weeks ago. At what size in cm would you reccomend releasing the baby's into the larger tank?
 
I would go with about 3 to 5cm. You mainly want to make sure they won't get eaten. It also helps if there are alot of hiding places for them. A dense area of plants helps and is the most affordable.
 
That depends on what other fish you have in the main tank. They must be big enough that they are not seen as a food by the other fish.
