[Killietalk] Diapteron Setups



Hi All,
Getting off the rather touchy subjects....I have a question.
Jim Graham was kind enough to get 2 prs of Diapteron Georgiae at the convention for me, because I had just lost the female of my young breeder pair.  Now I have 5 fish, 3 males and 2 females.  Can I keep these fish together?  For the time being, they are all set up together in a 2.5 gallon tank that has java moss, a small anubias nana, a small java fern, some najas grass, indoor water lettuce and duckweed, along with 2 fake plants.  The tank is pretty full, and as of now the fish look good.  The males sparred for quite a while, with the larger male appearing to win.  The two largest males suffered some slight caudal damage, but now that the spat is over, they seem to be doing fine.  Is this a good long term setup?  Will the parents breed, and if so, are they likely to predate the fry?  Should I take out one or two of the males?  
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary
P.S.  The strain is GBBS 99/19.
