stripping

[jhutch]

I have a pew females that are holding right now. They are afra cobue and I was wondering if i should strip them and if there is any benefit to this? I don't want them to swallow the eggs or fry. I have an adult pair and a sub adult pair and both females are holding. The adult has been holding for 13 days and the subadult has been for 6 days now. My WC Borleyi swallowed her freeswimmers and I don't want to keep losing fry like that. I asked about separating the WC female but the guy I purchased them from said I would chance breaking the bond. What should I do? I'm new to breeding africans.

You just need to keep them from the other fish. The female should keep them just fine if she isn't worried about the others eating them. They will sometimes swallow them if they think they are in danger.

Once they are free swimming, I would put them in a grow out tank.

I've never heard of a "bonding issue".
