Anyone ever have any sucess keeping Gouramis with and kinds of New World Cichlids ( not dwarfs)?? I doubt it because it seems like they'd pick on a Gourami, but I'm just curious. I've never heard one way or the other.
 
My bolivian and d.Gourami get along fine.
 
it depends on what type of gourami and what type of cichlid we are talking about here.
I'd have to agree on that. Have 2 snakeskin gouramies(@4-1/2") in with 1 green & 1 gold serverum of similar size & a @6" clown knife. (yes, I know he's moving to a new tank soon!) For now it seems to be working fine! the gouramies seem more interested in squabbling with each other a bit. Other than that they all just hang out and don't bother with each other.
But with all questions of compatibility the answer is a very definite "Maybe" it depends on a lot of different factors.
