don't try to catch her. The more you chase her around, the more chance of her stressing out and dying. Just have lots of floating plants in the tank and the babies will hide in them. Then you can use a 2 litre plastic icecream container to scoop the babies out and move them into the net.

The problem is I don't have any at moment have ordered some

if you have some plastic plants, you can let them float around under the surface and they do the same job

Place a large opened net in the tank for a while. Leave it stationary. Fish may Eve swim in an out of it, especially if you put a few food flakes in it. After a while, gently guide her with a smaller net toward and into the big net. Be ready to quickly elevate the net once she is in it.
