they are big enough to survive in the main tank as soon as their big enough not to fit in your biggest fishies mouth.

Genders appear around 3- 4 months

If it's only platies in the main tank, they should be fine after 3-4 weeks. Just feed them high protein foods and they'll grow faster.

You should be able to sex them as of about 3 months.
