I have an electric yellow in this tank with a mouthful of babies.
Any advise on catching it in this tank (without disturbing the peace?)

I don't want to pull out all the rocks because last time I did that I lost a baby pseudo elogutus for it was hiding in a crevice of another rock.
 
I have my best luck using a bit of food, then a wooden stick in one hand and the net in the other. I try to distract with the stick, convincing the fish there's not a net behind it. I usually end up cornering it, press the net against the glass, then give a little tap to move it to the back of the net. I know you've caught fish before, but it's tricky with that kind of rock. The treat approach seems to work for me. Good luck and keep us posted!
 
Thanks for the tip. Yes I am concerned for I think that it will spit the babies any time!
