He will do the same thing to your friends goldfish that he is doing to yours. Best bet is to trade him in at a pet shop.

No a sucker fish will not harm goldfish. I know this from experience. When I raised goldfish I had two sucker fish in with them one large and one small.

It'll chase your friends goldfish also. The reason it does this is because it likes the slime on the fish. So it chases them around to get it and fancy goldfish are not great swimmers. If your friend has a comet it will be a better swimmer and able to elude the sucker much better, but it still will be chased.

yes it can harm the goldfish the goldfish need their slime coating to protect from fin or tail rot and the sucker fish will suck the slime coating because they really like that stuff so i dont think u should put a sucker fish in with the goldfish

it will be ok. it wont pick on the friends cause its the friends fish. fish are bullies but only in a tank they have been in. so the sucker one wont be the bully might get bullied though

As from your previous question, I wouldn't think it's a good idea. It might even be a threat to do that. Just give it back to the pet store if it doesn't behave.
