we had our convicts in a tank with others and last time they had babies they all disappeared....... This time we have put them into nother tank with water we got from the original tank...do we put both mum and dad in with the babies?

welcome to fishlore!! at this point if they are separated, leave them that way... otherwise mom and dad will see them as food...

convicts are great parents but you have to have them with the babies to rear them but they also breed like rabbits and will eat the first set of babies when they breed again .....

Yup, ive been there with the whole breeding convicts thing, i done it in a 72G with just the convicts, they were such a pain so i traded them in at my LFS.
