I have been considering getting a pair of convict cichlids to breed. I have done a lot of research and have been unable to answer a few questions. I will be putting the pair in a 40 gallon breeder and plan on using a divider to put the breeding pair in 30 gallons and the older batch of fry in 10 gallons. I will use the fry when they get a little larger to feed a Senegal Bichir and a African spotted leaf fish as part of their diet. My concern is if I use a divider and separate the parents and fry if the parents can still see the fry through the divider would they stop breeding because their fry are still near by? Also if I get/make a non see through divider and take the fry out early will the male attack the female as I have heard. So how long should the fry stay with the parents to prevent the pair from fighting and at the same time not slow down the breeding process and will a see through divider be an issue.
