Any advice to there care? I've seen how easy they breed, as well as the protective instincts of the parents

I've just discovered a large amount of juvenile Convicts in my tank. And having just done further reading into the species, have now explained a few things. The strange growths on the bogwood I had considered could be eggs but when I went to check properly had gone because they hatch within...
