Hi everyone, It’s my 1st video with commentary so please excuse any mistakes that I’ve made. This is my personal guide to stripping African Cichlids and fry after care. I know I didn’t cover everything and missed some information out but as a general guide you can’t go wrong. I don’t claim to know everything there is to know about stripping African Cichlids. I just hope this guide will help someone out.. Filter in the fry tank is an Huey hung sponge filter. ===========================================================Hope you enjoy the video Please leave a comment, thumbs up and favourite (Only if you want too) Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE for more Aquatic related videos in HD. =========================================================== TAGS: “How to strip African Cichlids” tank water guide mbuna fry aquatic “water changes” heating filtration feeding care malawi commentary “how to” strip cichlids bolly12345 stripping breeding female methods help “fry tank”

It’s much easier to take a Paperclip and bend it to resemble a “L” with both ends still in their “U” shape. You simple insert the paperclip in her mouth paralelle to her mouth and then twist 90* once in and it opens her mouth and then she spit them all out at once instead of letting her? go over and over…
And PS, the reason that you want water moving over any fry with an egg sake is to run oxygenated water over the egg sake… There are vessels? that transfer oxygen from the egg membrane to the vessels until their gills are functional enough to perform this exchange… Cool Vid though!
Thnx alot marc. bolly12345. for your great videos i watch most of them and i really found all what i need in this hobby ..before 2 mounth i have 3 failed trail with breeding my mbuna (1-egg was not filterize 2,3- swallow the eggs) today? i have succeeded in striping my red zebra female and got 36 fry

Hi, just thought i would tell you a story about my convicts, if you look at my video you will see i have a small rtc, big oscars, severum, angel fish and convicts in my tank, and i saw this morning fry swimming around! how did they not get eaten? this? is the first time and ive saved about 28
@MrToony1 Thank you, seeing fry in the rock work is always exiting
?
Great vid man. Ive had yellow labs for about a 2 years now. They have been breeding for a while but? i could never find the fry. Changed the rockwork and added more rock and now i have 3 little fry swimming around. Its very cool. Keep up the good work. And Thanks
Great video. I have an african whos about to spit babies…i put her in a 20 gallon by herself, but it has gravel and all i have is a powerhead sponge filter. After veiwing ur vid, ill be removing all gravel,? however, is the powerhead safe for the fry???? Thanks.
hey do you know how you would strip fry from central american cichlids i have heard people syphon them out but i dont know how that works if you? know it would help greatly:)
a cichlid dealer in my area uses plastic syringe and pushes water through the gills and force the? fry out. Your opinion on whether or not this is safe/harmful?
