Convict Fry!

My girlfriend's mom's pair of convict cichlids just had a batch of fry! they are in a 29 gallon with a jack demsey, an oscar(moving to a 55), and a three spot gourami. Do you think the fry will live? the convicts got all the other fish to the other side of the tank. and hiding it looks funny because they are way bigger then the convicts. and when the fry get to far away the parents grab them with their mouth and take them to their nest! lol its really cute.

Hi, I had a pair of breeding convicts in a small 20 gallon tank with an oscar. it was a tight squeeze. when ever the convicts had they're fry which was about once a month, they would scare the oscar up to the corner of the tank. the fry did not live for more than 1 month. the convicts eventually start to leave them alone at about 2.5 weeks. the very small fry, that actually look like small fish now, started moving around a lot more but rarely coming up to the surface. the oscar eventually picked them all off. and then one time my convicts were not full grown and the oscar was growing A LOT faster than the convicts ate the parents. so if your convicts aren't full grown don't be surprised when the oscar has a wide belly!
