Do what jvision said, be careful she doesnt spit during her capture- sometimes they will spit from the stress of being netted and handled. Definately try to do that later than sooner as if she spits at least the fry have a fighting chance on their own at that point. i have had a (a few times) females spit a bunch of wigglers with their egg sacks still and it never panned out for them. Make sure she doesnt leave the water in her transfer (use small container to retreive her from the net and transfer). After she spits, she will suck them back up every time she feels threatend for a day or two, after that- give her another couple of days and toss her back in the main tank. feed the fry frozen baby brine shrimp and good luck. hope that helps
