ok lets start by the tank is 30 gal and the bottom is a mix of black sand with white rocks i made a shelter for the convicts out of limestone but they dug the list 1/2 in of sand and it collapsed they took the fry out and today they started to dig 2 holes next to the big one.
Also i have the tank divided in half wish a mesh kit on the other side a have a tiger oscar with a chinese algea eater, their side is dirty dirty without the chinese.
Im thinking on taking the divider out and taking the stones out with care cuz some of the fry are close to it most of them are next to the plasting plants. i dont know what im doing but i want to fix it tonight thx

Do NOT take the mesh out ... just 'fold it' so the Chinese algae eater (it's probably a plecostama) can get under it, but not the Oscar. Otherwise just 'let things be as they are' ... feed your fish properly and DON'T go sticking your hand in on the 'chiclid' side until the 'fry' are big enough to 'swim out on their own. To 'fold' the mesh, reach in on the Oscar side ... and you may have to 'pet him' to get to the mesh at the bottom ... and you are actully doing quite well for a 'newbie' ...

To start with, get the Tiger Oscar out of there and into at least a 55 gallon tank. It will eventually be more than 15 inches. Secondly, I already warned you to set the decorations on the glass to avoid collapses. If you take out the divider now, the Oscar will eat every single fry he can find.
