Cynotilapia holding

[Hybridfish7]

Two of my females have been holding for at most 3 days. Should I
A. Strip now
B. Strip before they hatch
C. Strip after they hatch
D. Pull her before she spits and let her spit into a fry tank

 

[Milingu]

For the fish D should be the least stressfull. When you are luckky she will spit while in the net.

As long as the species is not very rare and the female has not failed to carry through several times, I would not strip.
It's just unnecessary unless you are a commercial breeder.
