I Want Fry

[aspguru]

I have 2 pink convict cichlids. They are a breeding pair. I really want them to breed. What can I do? I thought these guys would be pumping them out like water. What's going on? They have dug the tank completely up. I mean, it looks NOTHING like it did when I first set it up. Is this a sign? Someone help. :'(

I have three convicts and had them in a 55 gallon tank w/ 3 jack dempsey's and 3 firemouths.  Well, a week and a half later, I had fry from 2 of the convicts, so naturally, they chased everyone off into a corner, so I put just the 2 convicts (and as many fry as I could get) into a 10 gallon tank by themselves and then the male acted as though he wanted to kill the female.  After about 2 weeks of "bad living environments" the female couldn't take anymore, so I moved her back to the other tank where she is coming along real nice.  The male has just forgotten all about his "babies".

My pair is doing great. They love each other. In fact, their names are Husband and Wife. I just want the little mothers to have kids. Now what do I do to make that happen > >

convicts lay eggs on a nest site, which is protective, in my case, a huge snail shell.  the pair will try to chase everyone else out.
