Baggai big enough for main tank?

[Bobbofin]

I got a bunch of Baggai babies from the fellow reefer. They are about 1/2-3/4" big including the fins, probably a month or so old. I was wondering when to put them into the main tank from the breeder cage. I have three green chromis 3/4", a firefish and a large yellow watchman goby. The fish I'm worried about the most is the watchman since he has the largest month. I was going to build a place for them to hide, a fake urchin out of zip ties. Any opinions would be halpful. Thank you

I'd wait a bit longer, say 2 - 3 months if they are growing well. I've had large peppermint shrimp eat them.

Housing for 2 months

Is it alright ot leave 7 of them in this for 2 months in my tank? They seem to be doing fine, not stressed and eating.

I've found them to do pretty well in confined spaces. Just make sure there is decent water exchange in and out of that box. Those fine nets can end up with a lot of stuff growing on them quickly, which will restrict water flow and therefore oxygen.

Thanks Greg. I have a airline stuffed into the nozzle from the overflow slowly pumping oxygen rich water from sump into the breeder net. I do see that it gets dirty so I am gonig to have to clean it. Probably just skim it with a siphon tube.
