Yellow lab fry

[Italy592]

My yellow lab is pregnant an if I stripe the eggs from her why do I do jus leave them in a cage in the tank or what ???

 

[Cichildlife]

how long as she been holding? can u look inside her mouth and see babies, if so you could probably strip her and keep them in a net breeder/ container...

 

[Italy592]

[Cichildlife]

Deffinently holding if shes about 3 weeks you could strip her, but its up to you

Fyi I've read that cichlids can still get @ fry in net breeders. So if you are using a net breeder in your main tank, keep that in mind.
As far as stripping goes its pretty easy. Can you see fry in her mouth?

Take a pencil and gently hold her with the top of your hand on her head ( your thumb ) and your index finger on where you see the lump in her mouth. ( GENTLY GENTLY GENTLY ) take the tip of the pencil and open her mouth or if you want to be safe use something similar and with your index finger sorta work the eggs out the whole tome keep her A. Underwater. B. Her Gilsonite and mouth under water. You can also YouTube it.
