Wow asking a quick question about something I've never experienced beforen and I get 16 views and no response. I thought this site was about helping others.
Take the eggs, and parents out of that tank if you want the fry to survive... The parents will guard them if left in the 180, but I doubt the fry will survive. A 30 gal is perfect for a pair of breeding cons. I have mine in a 20, but would prefer a 30.
i breed convicts for fun but, you dont have to do anything special for them. just let them breed and do what you do weekly
You'll want to keep an eye on agression. I took my Cons out of my main tank when they spawned as they were going psycho on the other fish. As Geronimo69 said, if you leave the fry in the main tank I wouldn't expect a lot to survive with that list of inhabitants. They'll be slowly picked off, and the Cons might end up hurting or killing some of the others defending their babies. They get mean. 
thanks a million geronimo69, livebearerfreak and dark jester for the response didnt know what to do
