	CONVICT ATE FRY!!!!!
NIKE884 Small Fry Posts: 7 Kudos: 9 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Mar-2004	My convicts gave birth to fry about 3 days ago...as soon as the eggs hatched she moved them from the rock she had laid them on, to the gravel. After a couple hours she ate every single one of them!!!! The fry werent even free swimming yet? Why is this? Should i seperate the fry once they breed again?
