holding what to do

[jseiverd]

So my dominant red zebra and my albino zebra just did their thing and now the albino is holding. My questions are how long till they hatch.. its first time so do you think they will protect the fry..and if i just let them roam will any survive in a 55 with about 11 othe mbuna ranging from 1 to 3 and a half inches lots of rock formations and hiding spots. Any input is appreciated

Nobody has any input?

Some should survive. The ones tht are smart enough to hide. They will get tiny pieces of food. But if u want a lot more than a few to survive then better get a holding net or a side tank.

I just went out and got a breeder net when do i strip the female or should i...

She will hold for about 3-4 weeks.If you watch her closely you will see the fry forming in her mouth.I would strip her at about 3 weeks.
