I discovered I had fry when doing a routine cleaning. Although I didn't actually end up cleaning for fear of sucking up fry. I lifted my convict's cave and that's when I saw them. About the size of a pin head and free swimming, yolk sacs I THINK seemed to be gone. I immediately put the cave back to avoid anymore trauma. Momma was verrrrry upset and seemed like she was searching for babies for probably 30 minutes after that scattering around the bottom of the tank and back to her cave. I've heard that in certain scenarios, when threatened they will eat fry! My fry don't even leave the cave yet, so I can't even see if there are any left. Any suggestions?

I dont think they will be eaten.. ive disturbed my fry countless times and they were never eaten... though I wish they were eaten.. you will find out how difficult it is to get rid of all the babies
