Will aggressive cichlids get along with a 10 inch goldfish?

[aquamist666]

I am planning on stocking a 60 gallon tank with 5 inch convict cichlids and green terror cichlids. But I also want to add a 10 inch goldfish to the tank. Will the smaller cichlids get along with the goldfish that is twice their size?

Aggression is one thing, but I don't think that goldfish should be kept with any tropical fish due to differing temperature preferences.

I've raised several Green Terrors - Rivulatus. Speaking from experience, a 60 gal. tank is fine for a juvenile, but a ten inch adult male Rivulatus will be too big for it.

is this a fancy goldfish or a common/comet?

Goldfish can do alright with convicts of thier smaller sometimes I wouldn't expect a Goldfish to do well with a green terror.

Definitely not a good idea, different temperature requirements, convicts will breed and attack the goldfish. A 10" goldfish is way too big for a 60 gallon tank anyway, so is one adult green terror as already mentioned, you certainly could not keep multiple green terrors there except when still very small..

If keeping multiple Green Terrors, only one male GT per tank. Upon maturity, males will fight to the death.
