The baby fish basically have to be large enough not to be eaten by anyone, which depends on who else is in the tank. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Yes it will certainly depend what else is in the tank. Some fish would treat them as nothing else but a live snack food.

Usually that is a few weeks, but it'll depend on other inhabitants and how fast they grow For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett
