	Gold gourami in with cichlids
billyspans Banned Posts: 59 Kudos: 48 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jun-2005	Hello, I inherited a 5 inch long gold gourami from a mate that was giving up his tank. I put him in with some similar size semi-aggresive South American cichlids. For a while my headstander was bugging him and nipping his fins, but everyone seems to have settled down and golden boy is holding his own. Do you think he is safe to keep in there or should I try and return him to the LFS?
