I have 3 different ocellaris fry batches. They range from 3 weeks to 7 weeks old. Can I take all the larger ones from the middle batch and put with the older batch and the small ones with the newer batch?

Size wise they would be pretty compatible to others in the batches

Combining fry from different batches is fine as long as they are similar in size. If there is a noticeable size difference you'll run into problems.

i have 2 month old tiny tiny guys stay in same tank with 4 month old salable sized clowns. i don't think there is survival issue. but the problem is the tiny guys dont grow as they never gets enough food.

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably combine them all and watch them closely
