what can i do with a male and a female convict and about 70 babies that i dont want? i dont have any tank space for them either! what to do

Your in a tough spot, convicts are very hard to get rid off. They breed like crazy (as you know) so the market is flooded with people trying to get rid of the fry. Check with your LFS or a friend that might have more room in their tank. It's hard to say but you'll probably have to flush the fry. That's about all I can come up with, so good luck.

It's not the nicest thing to say but the convict fry make good feeder fish. As for the Parents tug's got the right idea you might be able to give them to the LFS.

If you can't use the fry as feeder, I'd recommend putting them in a container in your freezer as the most human method instead of flushing or disposing them in a way that they'd suffocate w/o water.
