Should we move the fry that our convict and jaguar had into a 10 gallon tank of their own with the mom and dad?
 
You want to move the whole family into a 10? How big are the parents. How big is the main tank? What other inhabitants are there?

I'd say, off the top of my head, that you'd be better off leaving everyone where they are if you want to keep any of the offspring.

Having said that, again depending on what you have in your tank, the parents could kill everything else in defense of their brood.

Or the fry could get eaten.

Lots of "depends" going on here.. :)
 
Wait, you have 2 sets of babies a convict set and a jaguar set? And you plan on moving the fry and the babies into a 10gal tank? Jags are freaking huge how in the world are you going to do that?

I think the convict and the Jaguar bred together... I think.

Idk, like that's how i read it but it seems like it'd have to be a fully mature convict with a barely mature jag...

And even at that, no way should you move all them into a 10 gallon, if anything goes into the 10 it'd have to be JUST the fry...
 
leave them with their parents till they grow bigger, otherwise they would easily die!
 
Its a convict/jag. Well knowing from your other post there are other fish in the tank with the fry. They will pick off the fry and like stated above the parents might kill other tank mates. Moving them to a ten gallon will only work for a little while.
