Will my small angel fish,dwarf Ghourami or goldfish eat my guppies?

I know a bit about most pets but am new to the tropical thing. I have a large tank with 5 golfish,a plec, a sucking loach, 2 angelfish,a dwarf ghourami and now 4 guppies.Please advise.x I know goldfish are coldwater but are fine in hot water too.
I know many people who successfully mix goldfish with different varieties and have for years. In fact her goldfish are huge now.
my tank is at least 160litres and well maintained and I happen to know goldfish thrive in warm water.Its tropicals I don’t know about.

Clown Loach Hooverin’ up Bloodworms

Zeus loves live bloodworms……my Red Harliquin died and out of respect the loaches left him alone and didnt have his eyes out like they normally do.

My Discus Fish Spawning 20/12/09

a video of my main discus tank. My white butterfly is continuing to spawn regularly on the filter inlet pipe(she does like spawning cones) and the skaggy male pigeon blood is continuing to eat the eggs! the blue diamonds in this tank are continuing to grow although the largest of them scuffed his gill plate on the plecs cave a few days ago and the tissue is visably missing. Merry Xmas all
