From Fry, platies can go back in the main tank at a size of around 1cm, or around 12 weeks old. That is when they are too large to be eaten by the parents. They can take the same food of the adults already, if you crush it up fine enough. You can likely tell the males by their gonopodium at an age of around 4-5 months, and they will start to breed at around 6-7 months. If kept at temperatures around 75 degrees my best guess is that your platies may get around 7-8 years old, but some small aquarium fish can live up to 10 years. That is of course a maximum lifespan, not an average age
