just a little one for you guys and girls should i let my red horse face spit the fry in her own time or strip her i have done both in the past and lost a lot of fry doing so when i strip her after about a week or so they die over about 2-3 day and if i let her hold them she seems to swallow them
what should i do :?

strip her and keep the fry in a fry saver no bigger then a 4l ice creame container offer bbs 3x a day you'll have more fry then you know what to do with

i usually wait till they spit them and then take the fry.

i have striped in the past though with equal success

good luck with them!
