I am picking up 8 1" moba's on saturday. Currently in my tank i have 9 1-2" convicts and a pair of jewels that are about 3-4". I am taking the convicts to a local fish store, because i don't want to risk them hurting the frontosa.

The jewels have been living with the convicts peacefully, even though the convicts are much smaller. My girlfriend really likes the jewels and doesn't want to give them up. How risky is it to leave the jewels in there with these small mobas?
 
the issue is that they will be more aggressive than the convicts, or at least equal, and they will harrass the mobas since they are so small. I wouldn't risk it.
