Stripping/egg question

[krzr3000]

So my yellow lab is holding hybrid fry as of today. I have stripped the fry from her quite a few times. My question is, since i see people use egg tumblers...how easy is it to strip just the eggs out? Since the fry tend to swim. I would like to eliminate the constant amount of hybrids coming into the tank...

thanks!

same principle as striping fry and tumbling.

Well i dont want to tumble, i'm just wondering if stripping the eggs is as easy as stripping the fry (they swim out on their own for the most part)?

It is almost just as easy. I end up having to move the fish in the water and have my pinky hold the mouth open. I have ended up missing a few eggs sometimes, but normally I get them all.

It went well, easier than i thought. I suspect i missed a few, but she is eating brine shrimp now. Thanks for the input.
