They were together in half of a 40 breeder. There was another pair on the other side of the divider.
Convict Aggression

You could try getting another female to spread out the aggression. What size tank did you move them into now?
I Moved Them Into A Divided 55
I Just Decided To Move Them Back Into The 10g Until Tomorrow
On The Divided Side Of The 55g There Was Only A Flower Pot And Some Fake Plants
I Moved Them Back Into The 10g So I Can Have Some Time To Do Some Aquascaping
I Have A Smaller Female Black Convict. Should I Add ALL 3 Into The 55g Tomorrow Or Just The Pink Pair?
Also I Was Thinking Should I Add One Fish And Wait A While Then Add The Next?

If you are trying to breed pink convict fry, then I would avoid adding the black one. If you don't care what kind of convict fry you get, then adding the extra fish should help with the aggression. I would definitely add them all together. If you let one of them take part of the tank as his territory first you are just asking for more fighting. If they all go in at the same time that should help.
While in the divided 40, the pair on the other side probably helped keep the pair bond.
Putting them together, as in pair in a 10gal even for just 1 night (as Matt said, way too small) is asking for a dead female.
