My convict cichlids lay about 50 eggs a month but they end up eating
all
of them. How can i prevent them from eating their own babies. I feed
them extra food when they have babies just so that they don't eat
them,but it's not working. I always thought convict cichlids take very
good care of their babies. What shall I do?

Are there any other fish in there making them nervous? This is somewhat
unusual. I've seen Convicts go after fish twice their size protecting
their fry. Try sticking cardboard on the sides of the tank (with a few
holes for your viewing ability). Sometimes they are easily startled by
objects in the room (kids in bright jackets running around, shadows, dogs
etc)
