I have a 3" gold gourami here that survived being in a tank with 4x 2" piranhas for a couple months, and then in a african cichlids community for another 2 months. He is fine, nobody bothers him, so I would say you can put CS/SA in there, just make sure you get a specie that is relatively small and there should not be a problem...
your oppinion needed

I'd get a couple different kinds of gourami, that aren't the giants, and then get some midlevel schooling fish. I'm a fan of tiger barbs. Which, now that I'm thinking of it, is probably why I love dats so much... that's off topic, anyways... It's cool to have a balance. Have fish up top, in the middle, and your usual bottom feeders.

Sometimes you just have to find out for yourself, ya know? The question came up on Thursday after Guppy posted that pic of the gourami so since my wife and are focused on community tank setups we went to our LFS (in a corner of the feed store) and for $3.95 we bought a nice looking female. Uh, gourami. And a dojo that's been living in the store forever.
Here it is, Sunday morning; the severum and the gourami seem to be getting along fine. The severum, is spending a lot more time outside of the rocks. In one pic you can see it's old tankmate, a lace cat that always hangs in the rocks. Severum started spending more and more time in there and this gourami seems to have drawn it out. At first their was a little chasing but no biting, and the gourami would hide behind a powerhead for awhile. As you can see there's no hiding now. The all ate 2 hours before I took these.
Keeping in mind they're still small, so far so good.
