Help Please - WAR in Tank

[ddyerfamily]

:devil: My convicts have new batch of fry.
they are very good parents,watch the fry ALL the time.
Problem is they share a 55 gal with another breeding pair.(& a 12" pleco they don't bother at all:huh: )
They both have a home/cave.
Can you have 2 breeding pairs in tank?
I had to put divider in to stop the war.(temp fix)
Seems today one pair brought out their fry for their first forage outside home.Now the male constantly attacking the other pair.
Anything I can do?
Please Help

if you remove the fry they might stop fighting, but it will start again with the next spawn. Your best chance is to remove one pair.

These are some pics.
Not best pics,having cloady water problems.
I had to remove a large red devil from tank.
The blank space on left of tank was where the devil's cave was.
They didn't get along.

Would like to see fry grow.
what age can you remove fry safely to another rearing tank ?
