Chalk bass ate ladybug

[Protandrous niña]

A ladybug fell into my fishtank and before I could get it out one of my chalk bass darted up and ate it How concerned should I be? I think that ladybugs can produce poison or acid or something to defend themselves from predators. Will my fish be okay? I don't know how I'd do a miniature fish heimlich or whatever the equivalent is to get it to vomit.

Was it an actual ladybug or an invasive Asian Lady Beetle? Both CAN be toxic to fish but I can’t find anything one way or another.

I predict zero symptoms no harm.
