Paired these guys up over a month ago but now I have fry.

I have 3 tanks of Convicts,
Tank 1 has a pair of Pink Convicts
Tank 2 has a Pink male and Stripped female
Tank 3 has a Pink male and Stripped female that carries the pink gene

This video is tank 1 but I have others that show the other tanks. I also noticed at lunch tank 2 has fry so I thought the female ate the eggs turns out she did moved them.

I have a pair of pink convicts. they have had two spawns.
I have move the first spawn out and now the second batch
is about 1/2 dime size. and now my female chases my male.
he hide in the pot and only come up to feed and then she chases him again.
They have a lot of fry and they are not new at this, what is going on.
is she just wanting a break. can I move my male into the tank with the first babies
or will that be to hard on the small ones.???? help
he is so pretty i dont want to lose him.

I moved my adults out of the tanks with the fry because one of the males was ready to spawn again and started beating up on the female. I moved all the adults out to a divided 55g with males on one side and females on the other. You could be having the same sort of issue so I would move them to be safe. If you move the male into the tank with the first babies he might eat them because he might not understand they are his fry.
