Not a good idea. Your goldfish needs far cooler water to be comfortable than the cichlids and even a mild mannered cichlid would most likely pick on the goldfish until it died.

Totally different fish, totally different water conditions...so no.. can't mix em. Cichlids with cichlids, tropicals with tropicals and goldfish (in a huge tank) with goldfish. If the tank is big enough just get him another goldfish, or another pleco. I goldfish per 5-10 gallon tank is a good rule. Good luck!

No. Not only are goldfish coldwater fish, but you should only put cichlids in with other cichlids. Generally cichlids of the same size will not attack each other very much, but they kill other fish. There are no (or very, very, very few) exceptions.

Goldfish don't belong with tropical fish, so the answer is no.

No because your cichilids will get hole in the head.
