If you don't know, my male convict killed my female, he's 4", she was 2". They were in a 10g, and again, I can't get another fish tank. So today I'm going to the lfs. Should I get another female, or just a new pair?

why dont you just get a bigger tank?
10 gallons is really small. 4" is pretty large for a 10 gallon.

:nilly: Did you actually read my post? I said I can't get a bigger tank, unfortunately :/
 
Just throw in another female, but try to find one thats a little larger than your previous female. It would really help if you could at least get a 20 but i know you said you couldnt. I wish you the best of luck on breeding convicts.
 
Then dont get another fish if you know your overstocked. If your going to insist on getting another breeder for the con get a divider so after the fry become free swimmers the female wont get killed. And lots of water changes.
