I agree with HUKIT that a 29 gallon would be a minimum for one pair of cons alone. They're prolific breeders in addition to being great parents, so you'll have many in no time.
will they be eaten or not by the parents or is the best way is to just donate them some were because all i have is a 55g mbuna an empty 29g and my sisters 20g. so i have no room for babys except for when the parents are getting old for next generation fish. if i could make a few bucks that would be great

maybe your lfs would take them since they breed constantly and with lots of babys.

They're excellent parents generally so you won't have the parents eating them like if you were breeding angels or something. The only problem is, it can be very difficult to rehome babies because they are so prolific.

they'll probably pay you since you could supply monthly.

No convicts are so common you'll end up giving them away, shops won't even take them free around here. People on Craigslist sell for 10-25 cents each, even with alot of ads just wanted them gone.

That's what a con breeder would experience here as well. Adults are available to the shops via wholesalers for dirt cheap, so IME they would just as soon sell sexually mature fish at a markup than pay for fry.
If you want to make a little extra cash, perhaps turn your 29 into a shell dweller tank, and breed those.
really
then is there any less common fish like this that will fit in my 29 that are like convicts in that they breed a lot and would be worth anything.i have no clue what these are is there any information you can give me on these i have no clue about any of these.That's what a con breeder would experience here as well.

That's a great idea, around here shellies are unheard of must be purchased online. Honesty around here the money is in Malawi peacocks, I make way more money on those than any other fish I sell. They're not suited for a 29g tank though.
