It all depends on what species your working with and the specifics about the fish, like is it first brood, is it know to have eaten eggs before, and other parental things. Generally I strip them when they are hatched from there eggs and are swimming fry, that is probably the best method unless it is a really finicky species or a bad parent, then you would strip as eggs and put them into an egg tumbler.
^^ usually i wait a week for the fry to be free swimming. then i net the mom out and use a tooth pick to carefully open her mouth to release fry
