	removing the parents
amico Hobbyist Posts: 112 Kudos: 138 Votes: 4 Registered: 05-Jan-2005	when breeding convicts i read that you should remove the convicts after the eggs hatch but they didn't give a reason why. so is it nessicary to remove the parents or can i keep them in for a while as they seem to be good parents and defend the young
