Strip Female

[DireWolf]

I would like to strip a female and put the eggs in a tumbler and exactly 7 days. Will the eggs be fertilized enough and be ok in a tumbler?

Yes I have strip after 3-4 with no problem after they do the deed if it's not fertilize in 3-4 days it will turn white n disappear.

I agree. It's fun to watch the mother release the fry here and there in the tank if she's feels comfortable enough but yes, 7 days should yield fertilized eggs. I don't like to strip before this 7 day limit as the pair will sometimes spawn again within the first week to ensure all eggs are fertilized.
