I am planning to try an breed some guppies in my tank at work. If I succeed, at what stage should they/can they be moved out? How well do they survive transport?

What type of transport are we talking about? Across country, or just to get home across town? I would say that the fry are pretty tough. I move them from one tank to another sometimes immediately after they are born (depending on which tank they are born in). But like I asked above...what type of transport were you refering to?

They should be fine as long as they are not exposed to totally extreme weather temps. Take care!

they should be good really early. but put tape at the bottom of the of the bag so the conners get covered up.

sounds like they would be ok, just make sure to not like them get bumped around are shake cause that may stress them out a little bet.

Thanks all. When I get some (go to it guys!) I'll treat them with TLC, and drive home with more care that day!
