Ours spawned regularly until our male died. The female would change to bright colors every time she was about to lay eggs. We never wanted to breed so the babies would grow to around a 1/4 inch before the tank mates found them.

Convicts are typically known to take care of their fry. Like already mention first few times can be a bust but once they figure it out, you will have so many babies at different generations you won’t know what to do with them.
