Hmmmmm here is another link, a firemouth forum if you will. People giving their insights. This was a problem in my cichlid tank because like you said at night the babies fall into a pile at the bottom of the tank. I had a Brown Raphael (catfish) that got along with everyone, he was a bottom feeder, ate all of the waste and leftover food and only came out at night. Well to make a long story short, he ate the fry from my convict cichlids one night, all except for maybe ten or fifteen. They chose the location because that just happens to be what they like. They like caves, shells, flower pots and basically any kind of hollow thing that they can claim as their own domain and be out of sight when they choose. The parents will also eat the fry out of boredom according to what I am reading here, so that is a possiblity too. The Firemouths that I had never produced any fry, but the convicts did. I will do some more googling and see what more I can find for you! Brenda :)
