Am i kidding myself?

[karak]

I have a 300g American community 8x2x2.5, stock is:
2xoscar 20-25cm
~8xconvicts 5-10cm
6xSilverdollar 10-15cm
Jack Dempsey ~15cm
Chocolate ~12cm
Green Severum 10cm
King Kong Parrot 15cm
Common Pleco 10cm

And i want to add a 20cm Giant Gourami.
How long do you think this set up would last (if it lasts at all?)
If im completely delusional into thinking theres any chance it could work, let me know

I think the GG would probably kill all your fish.

 

[karak]

You are probably right, anyone else care to weigh in?

 

[cacichlids]

probably not a good idea

Actually, I think it would be a perfect fit.

My vote is for bad idea..

I think you already know the answer to your own question.. you know it's a bad idea. GGs live up to their name...they get huge and if you end up with a fiesty one, it will take out all your other fish. My advice: enjoy your current stock. Sounds like a really nice setup. Got any pix?

Those Convicts are gonna take over through rampant breeding. Their babies will be a food supply for the other fishes, but not all of them. Either they or the GG will change the complexion of the whole tank sooner or later.

Drop the gg and add a lyonsi or other more peaceful cichlid you will be happier in the end

I have my GG with some American cichlids, bichirs and knife. Well he is being re-homed into a bigger tank with dither fish as he is an absolute brutish bully. He will make chew toys of the other fish.
