my first fry!

Came home tonight and my yellow lab that I put in a separate take spit two fry. She still has more in her mouth. Very exciting

Should she spit the rest soon? Will she try and eat them?

Thx

If she let two of them out already then Just strip her of the rest....better safe than sorry

Is it safe to leave her in the tank if I strip her? She's being very active in the tank. Still holding but swimming all over the place.

After I strip my fish I always take the mom out....they're very hungry at this point because they haven't eaten in A few weeks but it's up to You.

Ok I stripped her and hope I got them all. I count about 15 fry swimming in the tank. She's in a big net breeder in the 10g. Ill give her a day to rest them move her.
Thanks for the help

Congrats!!! Thats awesome!!

Thanks...now if I can only get them to eat. I'm feeding them a powered fry food and can't really tell if they are eating it. Tonight I'm moving mom out of the net breeder back into the main tank. After that I'll do my first pwc of the fry tank.

Be careful, My fry at first were afraid of the vaccum hose but as they got just a bit bigger they flocked to it. lol
