I started with 2 and now those 2 have turned into approximately 200. Even the babies seem to be having babies and are very protective. They kill eachother and then make more to repeat the cycle what's wrong with these inbred fish!?!?

What you are describing sounds like pretty typical cichlid behavior. They are killing each other for territory and your aquarium only has so much room. If you want to break this cycle remove all the females. In a fairly short time the male population will "fight" it's way down to a few fish, each with it's own territory. They are still going to fight sometimes (it's their nature) but these will be minor skirmishes compared to what's going on know.

Convicts are notorious for breeding to repopulate the worlds water ways. There's nothing you can do but separate them. You probably can't even give them away. Be sure to separate them soon, though, or the inbreeding will have its consequences. You'll start seeing a lot of dead fish from congenital defects.
