Not sure that I understand you question..

I had a fire mouth that would stand up to convicts, that is until they laid eggs,

The firemouth I had would constantly challenge the male convict to a fight. I had to give him away, as I think it stressed my male convict out in having to constantly fight off the much bigger firemouth to protect his fry.

If the convicts pair off, your FM will be toast.

I would keep the FM, and move the cons. As for the fry I would try and sell them or donate them.

Keep the FM if you don't want millions of babies.

The only mix that will certainly not work is a convict pair with the firemouth; breeding convicts are nasty killers. The possibilities are :

1) the firemouth by itself would be nice : a full grown one is stunning;

2) the convict pair would also be nice if you are in the breeding thing;

3) the firemouth with a single convict could also work with lots of fighting and torn fins;

4) a single male convict; I also find them stunning when full grown with their hump.
