Take a netting to cover the bottom so fish don't pick at it. I've had it happen so just keep an eye out

You should see a developing head on those eggs.

Personally, I would wait 3-4 more days next time.

+1. 5 days is my minimum. That's why I asked if they would be tumbled in the same tank. Different parameters than the parent colony might hinder development.

I have my reasons for stripping at day one. For one, I need to see the fertility rates of these eggs, and another reason is I don't want another aggression flare up to jeopardize these eggs again. I need to find out what works with this colony, and even the individual females, so until then I'm gonna try different things. In case you forgot, I have waited 5 and 10 days previously with two other females that resulted in zero eggs at time of stripping. Unlike those times, I now have eggs in a tumbler that I can watch develop. That works for me.
