Im getting better at this.Saw one of my c.afra galileo females was about to spit so I tried a go at stripping fry.No go just cant manipulate a 2" fish with my big hairy mitts lol.but I put her in a separate tank and she spit 6 fry a few hours later.The I was going to try stripping the c.afra san sanga female that was holding,picked her up and said the heck with it and put her in a breeder net in one of my snail tanks.A few hours later she spit 6 fry also.The females are resting in a 20g and go back to their own tanks today or tomorrow.
I think if I want to strip by hand Im gonna have to get fronts!:D
 
Give the females about 2 weeks before you put them in the main tank. They need time to recover. The males will be after them to breed right away and there is no way they are ready for that.

BTW, congrats on the spawns!
