How big is the tank you're considering putting them into and how old are the fry?

It's best to have breeding cons in a species tank because of their aggression when breeding. Moving the fry may sort out the situation now but in a few weeks you'll have the same problem again so it'd be much better to move the parents as well.

Depending on the size of the other tank, a divider is probably your best friend right now to save your other fish.

i havce put the cons in another tank as they were 2 vicious for the sevs n everything else in the big tank, the tank the cons r in is not very big but im thinking about getting rid of the adult convicts 2 the LFS as i didnt realised they were a breeding pair and i cant be bothered with all the carry on plus the other tank aint big enuff for them, ill av 2 wait till the frys abit bigger then give them 2 the LFS aswell. theyve been hatched about 4 days now n theyre in another tank with the adults, when shud i take the adults out n takeem back 2 the LFS ? i shud leave therm with the fry for abit first shudnt i ?

Maybe you should take the fry and parents back together? ANy group of fry will just end up pairing off again and making new babies for you
