I have a yellow gourami in a 96L tank with swordtails, baloon mollys, platies, clown loaches and a cat fish. I usally feed them flakes but feed them either freeze dried brine shrimp or frozen blood worms every other day. I got this gourami a couple of days ago with the clown loaches and cat fish but it doesnt seem to be eating much food and its allways darting form side to side??

any help would be much appreciated

How many fish do you have in this tank? It seems quite overcrowded. Clown loaches grow over a foot long, should be in a group and you won't be able to keep it.
Gold Gouramis can grow to 6" and can become quite aggressive to smaller fish.

When did you test your water last, and what are the readings?

I have a Dwarf Gourami - he is a little piggy and eats just about everything!

I have a gold gourami and he eats everything from my plants to any food i put in. All of my fish in the community tank love frozen brine shrimp, Bloodworms, flake food, shrimp pellets. Maybe he is still stressed from the move.

Hail the beauty of the Gourami
They are always darting around actively and will eat any pelleted food or flakes, I also recomend a color enhancing food for any Gourami, they will work wonders on them.

However I would be more worried about overcroding if I was you.

I have a female and she is always eating anything I put into the tank including live crickets that I feed my African Butterfly Fish. I agree with J J Indy that it may still be stressed out, just watch it for a few days and see how things go.
