| I have a Gallireya female that has been holding for close to 14 days. When is it safe to strip her? I currently have her in a breeder's floating net. Would like to strip her and save the fry so I can sell her off with my other Gallireya Males this week. | |

| You can now if you have a tumbler. If not i'd say wait another week. They might still have egg sacs. | |

| Thanks, Jojo. I guess I will hold back on selling the gallireya until next week. For the time being, I will just move them over to the 40 Gallon Tank with my SP44 and Rustys. | |

| How warm is the water? If you have it around 80-84 the process will move faster...you probley can spit them now into there own tank. I do mine at 14 days. | |

| ic..my tank is at 78 so I'll probably start stripping around 17 or 18 days. I currently have her in a breeders net. | |
