Will 10" dats try to eat 2"-3.5" dats?

It really sucked to come home from work to a dead 9.5" IT. It was my favorite one out of the three of the same size that I have, with very thick identical bars on both sides. It was The alpha dat before I added a school of red hooks. Then it got bullied by the other two. Got some injuries and not eating well from being too stressed out, then died.

Anyway, I'm looking at adding 3x baby IT's ranging from 2" to 3.5" and 1x 3.5" flag tail to the same tank. Should I be concerned that the current dats may try to eat the new comers? I've heard that bigger dats usually leave baby dats alone, but haven't experienced it myself. Thanks.

Good to hear the assurance. Thanks.

Thanks JC. Yes, they do. I'm trying to add some bigger fish that could keep them both in check, like what my 17" pink GG used to do before she turned into a dat hater
