Try putting a cave in the tank.  Convicts are cave spawners, they may not feel comfortable enough to spawn in the tank the way its set up right now.  Females can have complications where they are unable to lay their eggs and they can die from it.  Its not very common but can happen.

as adam said a cave is good. a claypot works very well. just make sure it is not glazed.
