Are very small festivums unusually delicate?

My LFS has got some festivums in but they're very very tiny, maybe 1/2". They're about the size of the really tiny dats that show up in the LFS when they're "in season". Really little, barely more than fry. I've been looking for some but these are really small, I'd have to probably grow them out in a tank by themselves as even the fish in my growout tank (3" sev, pinktail chalceus, others) will likely be way too big for these small festivums. Should I grab them, or are they somewhat delicate at that size...if they are I'll keep looking for some bigger ones.
 
I don't see why there would be a problem with them. Get them while they're small they should be cheaper lol. If not wait for them to grow out, then you can pick the better looking ones anyways.
 
Well they only have 3, if I get them I'll get them all. $8 I think.
