Congrats. The fries will eventually come out once they start to try to explore their perimeter around the shell where they were born. Just be a little p8tient.

Nice clear pictures bro..

Stripping is unnatural, but it keeps the female in a better condition to breed again. During the holding period, the female has to endure fasting until the eggs turns to free swimmer stage.
