My convicts ate their first batch. However, after that they produced and
produced. If they feel there is any danger they will eat them also. If
there are other fish in the tank and they do not have a concealed easily
defendable nest area they may feel threatened.

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?
