Black Convict Cichlid, viable with introducing small babies while in tank??

[Green Devils-Red Terrors]

Is it safe to introduce my new Green Texas and Blue Acara (half an inch at most), into a tank with 1 1/2 inch convicts (breeding pair)? The convicts are already circulating at the bags, as I'm acclimating. Anyone, have any tips on introduction, of new small babies into a tank while avoiding complications?

Thanks in advance!

I believe your convict parents if breeding now, will rip them to shreds.
If not spawning , 50/50.

Agreed, likely not safe for the small fish. Convicts are vicious especially when they are breeding. What size tank are we talking?
Divider is probably your best bet.

This breeding pair was keeping the obviously bigger fish in 1/4 of the tank until I put the divider in....

In my opinion they would just shred the new guys.

Yea, bad Idea....even more so that they are smaller then the convicts.
