Yeah they're fast and like to hide. there's been like 20 little ones in my tank for a couple weeks now.

I don't keep P's anymore. in fact, I bought a pair of convicts at a petsmart to feed to my P's and I realized they weren't for me anymore when I was more interested in the cons than the P's. When the P killed the female con I started feeling guilty. That was when I knew it was time to get rid of the piranha.
 
I've got a rhom, he can catch them, he's just not interested.

as already mentioned don't do anything, just feed your ps like normal and one day the convict will disappear. When i use to toss convicts in my tank, it wasn't for me to witness them eat and could care less if they lived for awhile. i would just dump the babies in and move on with my life.
 
Haha, I am the same way with mine.. I will usually get a bunch of feeders and walk away once you watch them chase there kill down a bunch of times it loses its effects
 
try a slower fish like gold fish. ot frome the lps though. they can introduce paracites.

That's what I am hoping for but I also don't want the convicts to mature and then start harrassing the other fish. From what I red on the forums the cons can be very aggressive.
