Well, this question would be considered by most, to be the joke of the day. Not laughing at you personally Jokenmack, though your name does imply "joken", lol. As if you have a female and a male convict, you are most definitely guaranteed to get fry. Convicts are the most prolific and definitely by all ways and means, the most easiest fish to breed. And as long as a pair is kept together in the same tank, you will continue to get fry on a regular basis.

Convicts will spawn about once every 4-8 weeks. And will continue regularly spawning even with the past batches of fry in the same tank.

Brilliant fish - unbelievably easy to breed. Good luck with the re-homing!
