About 8 months ago my girlfriend took a feeder fish out of my piranha tank because they niped it and didn't kill it and she put in in my 14 gallon hex and now he is about 5 inch long and to big for my hex, I was wondering if he would be ok in my 75 gallon African tank

I don't think it would be a good idea. I see a lot of issues with it: temperature, aggression and goldfish being messy.

He is with a few small Africans in my 14 that I'm growing out to put in my 75, the temp is 78 and pH is 7.8...same as my 75, I'm just worryed about the aggression

78 is a little high for goldfish. You are correct to be concerned about aggression.

Honestly the only cichlid goldfish combo I think would be worth trying would be putting mellow subtropicals in a goldfish pond for the summer.

I thought the golden rule was you only kept goldfish with other goldfish. At my fish store they have their own category: Community, semi-aggressive, aggressive, and goldfish.

He seams to be doing fine for the past 8 months with a few small africans and the high pH and temp
