When to introduce fry

Just wondering what a safe size/time is to introduce fry in to a community tank. I have 4 ruby barb fry which a around 8 - 10 weeks old (not exactly sure), they are around 10mm long. I'd like to put them in the main tank rather than their hatchery but don't want them to be eaten or get outcompeted for food at feeding time. Currently there are rams, neons and cardinals, bristlenose, corys, SAEs, mollies, honey gouramis and golden gouramis.

From what i understand basic rule of thumb is anything that can fit inside another fish's mouth could be at risk of being eaten, the only fish im not sure about are the golden gouramis as they're adults and approx 10 - 12cm long. Would they be likely to eat fry?
