I caught her last night. Once the lights went off and the fish got all drowzy and didnt know what was happening i scooped her out and put her in my 10 gallon. She spat out 2 eggs, i'm guessing from stress, but its also her first time and my first time dealing with eggs so live and learn. She was hiding in a cave all day but luckily she was chased out of it once it got dark. When i took her out she was so drowzy that when she realized what was happening she was already in my 10.
