I just stripped 2x Red Empress (Protomelas Taeniolatus) females and 1x Yellow lab (Labidochromis Caerulus) female.
Here is the happy crowd [:)]

This was a total of 91 fry, including 16 Yellow Lab.
 
congradulations !! Your red express male is beatiful.
 
It's basically just picking the fish up, opening its mouth (via sticking a fingernail between its lips or such) and pouring the fry into a bucket or something filled with water :)

Requires a few times to get the hang of it, but soon you get the hang of it and the fish are happy to get rid of the fry :)

Mine were begging for food and greeting my an hour after I stripped them :)
 
I'm wondering if you would be interested in selling/shipping some of your fry? Around here the stores don't sell anything of great interest , it took awhile to get my yellow labs and electric blues!
I really like the red empress and I think my set-up would work.
 
Finally someone willing to ship some fish and thier in anothor country! Should have noticed that.....thanks for responding though.
 
:rolleyes: not in northern Minnesota.we have to drive 2 hours just to find a decent store,and as far as I know there is no fish store in the whole state,that is,if you want heathly fish!
