Default Jewels suitable for this tank?

Hello,
I have a 180 litre tank, approx 16" front to back, 18" high.
It currently houses 2 Blue Acaras, 5 Buenos Aires Tetras and a Bristlenose
plec.
I spotted some young Jewel cichlids in a local shop, and am very tempted.
I know they are aggressive, but I figure they are smaller than the Acaras,
and possibly too slow to catch the Tetras.
Does this make sense, or will a bloodbath be the result?!
If it came to it, I would be prepared to give the Tetras away in order to
get the Jewels, would this help the situation?
By the way, I am thinking on getting 2 or 3 of the Jewels.
Regards,
Richard.
