    Guess I've broken ALL of the tumbling rules. Science is so theoretical isn't it.

      I watched a video earlier and a guy used a damm paper clip to pry open the mouth he uses the side of it and all i could think of is the fish squirms and tear the mouth open he did use a turkey baster to get the eggs from the bucket to the tumbler he had placed in the tank that seemed to work good

        I use a spoon. I'd've stripped eggs day 4 and had all make it. No slow growth rates like some suggest. I've stripped eggs day 7-10 and didn't have any I'll effects. They start hatching day 4/5. Day 6 and 7 they are full bodied with eyes and tails. Day 10 they are bigger. Day 14 in an empty tank a tumbler isn't necessary. I've probably gotten 100 fry from stripping in the last month and a half and most were stripped days 7-10.

          Well I did a water change today and went to catch the chimba holding and when I finally cornered her she spit so I didn't get to strip her but she spit 4 nice new baby chimbas ready for the grow out tank.... Awesome I checked what I think was her and nothing left so I'll keep an eye out for a lil bit to make sure vt shes a small girl so I imagine 4 is all she had

                      It's pretty awsome to watch she runs off to the middle of the group and he goes straight to her shakes all lit up and she follows him back to the otherside like he puts her but in a love trance

                              Nice, I wonder if mine aren't growing very fast because they are in the tank with my dubs
