I separated a female peacock that was holding to a ten gallon tank. Tonight I noticed 2 of the fry in the tank but she still seems to have more in her mouth. Should I just let nature take it's course and see if she releases the rest or should I attempt to strip her? I want the fry to survive but I want to know if she will peacefully stay in there with them as she recovers before going back in the 75.
Peacock has released 2 of her fry, rest in her mouth. What should I do?

I ended up stripping her just now. I have 27 babies!! I thought that was all but when I put her back in the 75 she released 4 more and they got eaten by the other peacocks. She's doing fine in the 75, even chasing some of the other peacocks around. She seems to have gotten very aggressive.
