    Gold fish of any variety require water that is colder than tropical fish such as your gourmis. It is likely that the water was too warm for them and did not have a high enough oxygen content. (the colder the water the higher the oxygen content) this is why gold fish of ANY species are NOT good tank mates for tropical fish.
    I am sorry to hear about your goldies.
    Another fact about gold fish is they produce more ammonia than tropical fish so a VERY good filter is needed to keep them happy and healthy.

    well for one gourmis are tropical fish they like the water a bit warmer than other fish and goldfish are cold water fish they like the water colder.

    They aren’t really good tank mates. Specialized fish such as bubble eyed goldfish should have a tank to themselves really because of their limited vision.

    That said, I seriously doubt your gourami killed the two new fish, it’s much more likely to have been a water quality issue. Odds are high your water is considerably different thant he water from the shop and this shocked your new fish.
