So I have 30 of my baby perc's in day 16. I have two RBTA's in my display tank and would like to remove one. At how many weeks/Days can I intro a RTBA to my baby clowns?

Thanks
 
They are fine going in right after meta. At 16 days, your percs should be past that. That's when they look for nems in the wild.

JJ thanks.
When do you move your fry to a bigger tank.
Right now mine at day 16 are in a 10 gallon. Was thinking about setting up my 30 gallon so I have my 10 ready for the next fry? Basically right now I have a 10g with my 16 day old fry and a different 10 g (half full) with 4 day old fry and eggs just laid yesterday.

I would move them anytime after meta and on dry food. I feed mine otohime and I will move them anywhere from day 15 to 25 when I'm not lazy. Hehe. I start otohime A about day 3 or 4 depending how they are looking and moving. Once they are off Rotifers you can move them.
Your doing a good service to the future owners of the perc by putting them in a nem so they know where to go and prevent future RC threads about " why won't my clowns host thread". Hehe

I don't move them into a larger tank until at least day 30. I experience some shock in a few when they are moved before day 30. Day 30 - 45 is my target to move them up.
 
What jj said is a good idea on moving. When I move mine it's to another 10g tank so they don't have all the rotifer crud and junk to deal with. A nice clean 10g is what I do. I don't always do it. Just if the tank is overly dirty and WC don't keep the ammonia down.
