Well I'm certainly not rehoming all my fish that's absurd it would help if my first post was actually read accurately for starters and second off i did my research thank you an it clearly states that bichirs and cichlids especially convicts and black bumblebee cichlids which are a variant of the bumblebee cichlid can temporarily be housed in a 55G successfully when at a young age also seeing as ASB are slow growing and the fact black bumblebee cichlids max out at 6.3 inches and mine are only 2 inches at most and convicts average max size is 3.5 inches is say my 2 convicts are at the peak, and finally thank you all for the info and advice on gourami/goldfish question which is the only thing I required in this post was that answer not a witch hunt into my setups, water parameters or my tank size or species

To answer your original question: no, I don't recommend mixing gouramis and goldfish

That being said, I think you can fit the juvie bumblebees, convicts (btw females max out at 3.5, males max out at 6 inches), gouramis, and bichir in the 55 for now.

However, be prepared to upgrade because you might need a 125+ gallon tank to fit all these fish when they reach max sizes.

That's why some here are advising you to rehome some of the fish if you want to save money. (I would revoke the kissing gourami because that fish reaches 10+ inches)

As you seem to think me as a aquarium noob by your condescending message which is highly highly inappropriate as a global moderator just in case you missed that my friend so seeing as I still got my answer no matter how annoying and condescending it was...thank you and have a blessed day

Money is no issue I'm prepared to spend what's necessary as I love my fish

Only issue I'm seeing is will a 55G hold them all long enough for the 175G to cycle has a week left then will get a 250 and start the cycling on that

i just noticed today that the opaline has a missing streamer and a bite out of her right fin and the pink kissing one has a torn tail fin aswell had them for about a week and the tear, bite, and missing streamer are all new, my question is are the two gourami able to be housed with my comets, and black Moore goldfish temporarily seeing as both gourami seem super chill and peaceful? Ps: my albino Senegal bichir 5 inches seems fine he ignores them all and the cichlids avoid him

Not being dogmatic but I suspect what's happened is one or more of the more aggressive fish (the cabro are good suspects) are feeling better in the better water and reverting to their typical aggressive, fin nipping habits toward those slower and calmer fish with long fins.

Yes, I think you can temporarily house the fish you mentioned together in a large enough tank.

Important information and logical question which "bumblebee cichlid" you're talking about, considering all bets would be off if it was butterikoferi!.
