my convicts are the worst parents ever they eat their fry instead of taking care of them, and it sucks because i don't have an aquarium for the fry:irked::irked:
 
A 10 or 20 gallon aquarium with an air driven sponge filter is a relitivly cheap way to set up fry tanks. It's better than losing batch after batch of fry.
 
With no disrespect, what do you have planned for the convict fry? I know around here in Denver, they aren't worth much when you try to sell them (either privately, or to a LFS). Just curious.

I agree with the 10 gallon w/ sponge filter as a cheap way to help with the problem.
 
i intend maybe to sell them to a lfs, or if that doesn't work out use them as feeders for my other fish, i am hopefully getting a 55 before to long and the cons will go in it and the fry will go in the 10 that the parents are in now
 
My convicts didnt actually raise a successful batch untill the 5th spawn which was coincidently in a tank with many other dithers. *Hint hint*.
