convicts spawning

[FishFreaks]

the male at first was eating them as soon as she does, is this natural? then her started to rub his belly on them. sometimes she will flare her gills at him, but others she will just let him be. should we remove the male from the tank or seperate them? I think this is their first time, ive never noticed her laying eggs before

They will become better parents with practice. I would leave them alone for now and they might eat all the fry but they need to experience this. They usually figure it out on their own after a few spawnings. Convicts usually learn how to be good parents quickly if left alone.
