that's right! my beautiful snow white socolofi is holding again! unfortunately i don't have the 75gal ready yet so she is terrorizing my other fish. after two weeks if she is still holding i am going to try and strip the eggs. any advice on best method of doing that? i got that you hold her and have only her head in the water pointed down into the fry net, but after that i'm clueless as what to do. . . ?

i'm such a terrible person! she was attacking all of my fish so i put her in a breeder net and she was attacking that, so i stripped the eggs just now! i got 4 yellow tear shaped things now in my breeder net. will they hatch since they are no longer with their mother?

". . . you will need to raise the eggs in a tumbler, otherwise they will succumb to egg rot."

I learned from my cichlid club that if you leave the eggs in a breeder net in the tank with the fish, that the fish will actually suck the eggs thru the net. Sorry for your loss.
