So I picked up a breeding group of Placidochromis Johnstoni from a great cichlid breeder on Monday night and one of the Johnstoni females was holding when I got her. I was told it is her first time and she may swallow the eggs but so far so good. My question: When should I strip her...or should I put her in my 20gal tall tank to quarantine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated;)
 
You could strip her if you have an egg tumbler. Otherwise, I would wait at least three weeks.

Or you could just put her int he hospital tank.
 
I had to put other polits in the QT so I let the johnstoni stay in the tank. I came home the other day and their were 5 tiny johnstoni fry with tiny stripes and all. Will post pictures as soon as they get big enough to see with my camera lens.
