Yellow Lab And Jewel Fighting

[Dalaran]

So I recently transfered some of my fish to my new 55gal tank.

Current stocking:

4x yellow lab (relatively close to full grown)
2x jewel (relatively small (~3")
1x BN pleco

The dominate yellow lab and the dominate jewel are starting to go at it occassionally. It started off with the yellow lab chasing the jewel, but now the jewel is standing up for himself and there is some mouth to mouth fighting, I even noticed another normally passive yellow lab joining in to help his buddy and make a nip at the jewel (even though the dominate yellow lab will chase this guy around too). Do I need to rehome something or should I let them work it out? Who is likely to win this fight? Right now they are approximately the same size but I'm sure the Jewel will grow up to be much bigger.

Thanks for the help.

they are just fighting for the territory,

i have jewels and also other malawi`s and once they settle for a space they can be fine,

I have yellow labs and jewels also. I think they will settle down one they sort out their new territory. In my experience they save the real aggression for rivals of their own species.

Thanks you two! Hope your right because I really like all these little guys and would hate to have to rehome any of them!
