    Sorry Gene, I was gone for the weekend and I came in late last night. This morning when I fed the petros, she did not eat but her mouth has gotten smaller. I'm assuming she ate some of her eggs.

    Did you get a chance to meet with Mr. Laif?

    Congrats!!!!!!!! Strip her on day 10 like you are planning. I don't feed the tank for the first 5 days and then feed only lightly watching to see if the holding females swims up to the food to bump it and not eat it.

    Many females will either spit or swallow any unfertilized eggs by day 5 post-spawn. If she holds to 10 days great, if not, you know you have another opportunity.

    We all want this spawn to be successful as this is a rare fish.

    Gently remove the fish from water...open her mouth gently.....gently dunk her head into water while holding open mouth . The fry should swim out . This is the short explanation but it's pretty much all there is to it . You can also Google cichlid stripping and you should be able to find photos and videos .
