graceless Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 i have never kept this specific fish, but reckon with pseudotropheus, give them 10 days before you put her in a fry saver. maybe more. i strip my fish most of the time (cause i think it's fun), so yeah, i usually do that at about 12-14 days and they tend to be pretty grown by that stage.

Bucky Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 hey all i usually strip my pseudo's at around 5-7 days and put them in a strainer as a fry saver so they get plenty of water movement and i usually lose max of about 5 on a bad batch and the females go back to feeding and get ready to spawn again eg: with my salousi i was striping at 5 days and i was getting a mouthfull on average once a week between the 4 females i had and i found that the best way so they are eating again as soon as possible as i have known people to lose females after allowing them to hold full term and they just never feed right againhope this helps. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
