How does one do this? I read on a different site that someone stripped the fem of the babies in her mouth. How do I do that?

So I hold her in my hand and run water down her body so it goes through her gill slit and out her mouth? Or just keep her in the net and position her so she is facing downward?
You can hold her in your hand... if needed the net can work...
let water flow into gill silt and out mouth...

Thanks for the clarification. If my Fem "ZO's" don't spit out those babies soon I'm gonna strip them and throw them back in the 110 for some more lovin!!!
Funny thing is, my wife is due in 7 days, so I'm waiting on all kinds of women in my house to spit out babies!?!?!
Ain't none of 'em coopteratin'
Do you suppose I could run tank water down the side of my wife's face to get her to spit out the kid?
Hey it is worth a try... In theory warm water on the hand can make you pee, why not cold water on the face make you go into labor...
Let me know how the stripping works...(fish)

she will let them go when she is ready, if there is anyone else in the tank they may look on the fry as snacks. Alternatively when she is close to letting them go put her in a small tank till she releases them and then put her back into the main tank leaving the fry in the 'nursery'
