my salousi girl will usually hold for about 3 weeks.

i most of the time separate her, and let her spit, only a few times i've stripped her.

I have also seen little salousi getting around in the tank she's in, so sometimes she spits earlier.

If you have a small spare tank, remove her to it, or even a separator, and let her spit the fry.

Mine has never eaten them after spitting, but if you're going to leave her in the breeding tank, make sure you have plenty of hidey spots for the fry or they won't last long. :wink:
