when are baby fish safe from being eaten?

Baby fish, or fry, are generally at risk of being eaten by predators until they reach a certain size and maturity. This safety threshold varies by species but often occurs when they reach about 1-2 inches in length, depending on the size of potential predators in their environment. Additionally, their survival can be enhanced by seeking shelter in vegetation or hiding spots until they are big enough to avoid being eaten. Environmental conditions and the presence of predators also play significant roles in their safety.
