You should generally separate a baby fish until it is large enough to not be eaten by its parents or other fish in the aquarium. Some fish, such as mouthbrooders, keep their fry in their mouths until the fish are old enough to be released. Others, like Black Convict Cichlids, guard their babies and chase away any fish who gets too close. For these fish, there will be no need to separate the babies.
