With all cichlids, if it can fit in their mouth, they will eat it, particularly if you introduce small fish into an already established tank.

If they all grow up together, even tho some grow larger than others, there is less likelihood of the smaller fish being eaten.

I once lost 300 large neons to a group of discus who hunted them down every night. At the end of three weeks I had twelve lovely fat discus, and no neons :(
