I had my first female hold and I just stripped her, the results are 35+ fry and 6 eggs. The question is what should I do with the eggs? Take out and discard, or save and tumble them? Any advice

Fry fully developed? The eggs might not have been fertilized. You can try to tumble them.
I agree with Marius, there is a good chance that the eggs never got fertilized and are dead. What do they look like? If they are white or misshaped they are dead but if they are yellow/orange there is a chance they just have not hatched yet. Thow them in a tumbler and see what happens.

Eggs all look good, I am going to try and make a tumbler for them and see how it works. If it doesnt I may try to strip one of the other 2 females holding and see how well it works with those eggs. And as for the fry, they look really healthy and are bigger than what I expected
I second that what species is it?? Congrats on the huge brood, 35 thats alot!! Thats odd to get that many fry and some eggs, the only thing I've come across close to that was a female with 7 fry and 3 snails lol
