Golden dorado with South American cichlids?

[RADNP]

I don’t know anything about golden dorados, but would it be possible to keep one with South American cichlids in a 10 foot long aquarium, long term? I saw a video with someone who had that combination with young specimens, and I thought that could be trouble, but like I said, not very knowledgeable on the golden dorado.

Not a good idea. They don't even get alone with their own kind. You're going to end up with injured or dead fish. Very risky.

^agreed.

Dorado would eventually kill or eat them

I've had a young Dorado snatch food from the mouth of another fish and then chase it around while eating the food!
