ok i have a pair of convicts the mated and laid eggs but i wasnt aware of it i was cleaning the tank when i moved some of the decorations in the tank when i saw themfloatingdown now the female is looking for them and picking them up will she eat them or put them some where else and if she does find will they survive or will they servive where ever they land
 
Shes likely going to stick them in a new location. They'll be fine. Convicts are good parents.
 
ok so the egg are doing just fine i think they look like they might be swimming soon so i will have a lot of wigglers i have one more ? is it ok to do a water change or should i wait untill they are fry and swimming on there own
 
I did water changes with fry and never had a problem. The mom will probably "attack" the siphon but as long as you dont suck up any fry they'll be fine.
