When is it safe to add growouts to main tank?

[prskiller]

My kelberi growouts are 6" and the main tank has 2 kels, 9" and 12" and a 12" NGT dat. Is it safe to add now or should I wait a few months and inches?

My NGT is passive, such a wuss of a datnoid which is good

They should do fine, I'd keep an eye on the bigger kel though.

Only one way to find out.....

What some call 12" can be a big mislead to others 12"....

Totally agree! I thought my tem was 12" till I measured him out of tank. He was over18"!
point being the glass and water can make fish look smaller or sometimes bigger than they really are.
put the smaller kels in plastic bag and put In main tank to reall see size difference and how the bigger ones reach to them

Well I did it and all three chase little guy around, it's big enough to not get eaten but still to little as compared to the pack. I didn't want to stress it so I removed it and put it back in the grow-out tank. I'll wait to do it sometime next year.

Yes I was, it was a quicky though

It's back in growout tank, it was just a dip in the main tank
