Have a 29 gal with 5 tiger barbs and a senegal bichir and a convict pair. Convicts laid eggs and i have a lot of wigglers in a shipwreck. Should i move the shipwreck and the parents to my cycled 5.5 gallon with a heater. Its completely empty
 
IMO that sounds too small for convicts and their fry. I believe it's recommended 20 gallon minimum for convicts pairs, and fry would only be in there for a little while before they get too big.

Also, I know this is a little irrelevant, but...your senegal bichir gets too big for your tank. I hope you have a bigger home for him :)
 
Yea i know about the bichir... I dont have another tank and need to get rid of him. Hes bout 6 inches or so so ive got a little time to find him a home.
