convict breeding help

If it's not an Oscar or Discus (as they have their own forums), but a cichlid from Texas, Central or South America... This is the place to be! Terrors and Devils and Jacks oh my!

Nest,or actually laying?...or has already layed?
At worse it will simply delay spawning...Convicts go if they want to go.Really not sure if they will come back to tend already layed eggs...probably to eat them at most.

Not a problem either way if wanting a spawn,they'll get to it once settled in anywhere.
Just think about it.

You can do whatever you want with these little guys and they will breed!
If you interupt a process, wait a week, and there will be a new batch!
As long as they are healthy, they will breed. They're worse than guppies - or rats... Which is a good thing! ;)

yeh you will probably interupt this breeding cycle by moving them but as with all convicts just add water and watch them breed :)
