| 21-28 days.... You can get them to spit a little after 14 days. If you turn your temp up a bit that speeds up the process. | |

| How long has she been holding? I wouldn't strip her until at least 2 weeks. I usually let my fish hold about 15 to 17 days just to be safe. | |

| They may not be fully developed. So yeah they could swim a little funny at 1st. 50 is a pretty good count. Nice grab. I have 18 from my yellow lab 3 days ago. Here in about a week im going to strip my Yellow Belly Alberts | |
