Rehoming Convict Mating Pair And Fry

[Kenslaw]

Hello everyone, I have a 30l tank with a mating pair of convicts and about 30 fry, if I move them all into a new bigger tank I've bought will the fry be ok? Or might they get disowned of eaten? Thanks

Hello,
 
They should be ok as convicts are amazing parents (as i'm sure you know), but occasionally the stress can be enough to make them eat the fry. 
 
If their a young pair then they may eat the fry anyway, due to them been inexperienced.
 
I have two pairs and the younger male always eats his fry after about 2 days of the fry becoming free swimmers.
 
Even if they do eat their fry, convicts are prolific breeders so it won't be long and they'll be breeding again.
