Releasing Platy Fry?
I have 4 platy fry and they are about 1/2 a cm, would it be okay to release them in the tank with the other fish or should I wait longer?

Maybe wait until they are 1 centimeter just to be safe.

What other fish are in the tank that you will be releasing them into? I'm assuming adults.....but what else? 1 inch would probably be best, but if you don't have anything too large, 3/4" might be ok.

I think they should be about 1" && big so they wont get eaten.

if it only the corydoras in the tank i would release them pretty soon as the corys generally arent agressive to platy fry
also if your filter has an open inlet try covering it with a sponge so they dont get sucked in |

a little off tangent, but what do you do if you DON'T want fry?

Get all males. You cannot get all females because most livebearing females come from the store pre-hit.
