I'm breeding convicts in order to use as feeders. Can multiple batches of fry live in in the same tank or do the older ones need to be removed?

Yes, I've been sucessful with multiple batches of cichlid fry in my 55 gallon.
Make sure they are they only fish in the tank onbviously....
if the size difference is to much the larger group will eat or harass the smaller group ..but if they are fairly close than you should be fine.
My buddy has 3 pairs of cons in a 55 and some fry always seem to survive. They grow much faster if seperated from their parents though. They get more to eat that way.
Sorry if I was unclear. My convicts had 50 babies. They are all alive and well, now 1 month later they have new fry. Will the older and younger siblings get along or should I remove the older ones.
They will probably be eaten by their older siblings yes. The parents will probably attack their older offspring also.
