Yes Ricky, she will keep them in her mouth for up to two weeks. Try using a CLEAR container to slowly trap the female. Again, I use a breeder style with a lid that has slots in it. When you trap the female she will spit out the fry and/or eggs she has in her mouth. let her get water iback into her mouth a couple times more to make sure she flushes out all of them. Sometimes you can catch them with a dip net, but this usually frightens her enough to spit out everything before you can catch her.
