Answer
Hi Devin,
Congrats on the new eggs!
The baby convicts should be fine. Most convicts are great parents. It's true that the babies do in fact take about a week to absorb their yolk sac and then become free-swimming, which they should then be fed newly hatched brine shrimp, frozen baby brine shrimp, or maybe even finely powdered flake food.

Best of luck with the convicts!
