Bangaii Cardinal

I have a couple baby cardinals that are now about 3 months old living in refuge. How old or big should they be before I release them into their own larger tank?

If it's in a tank of their own, my rule of thumb has been "dime" sized at least. If they are about dime size and can eat frozen foods well, then they should be fine as long as your filter system is something they can't easily get sucked into. However, if sharing a tank with other fish, the usual aggression rules apply and I don't recommend until they are more mature (5months+ with places to hide).
 
Thanks...That helps alot. They are the same age but one is larger than the other so I`ll wait a bit longer to move them. No hurry really....
