Hmm I have had Javas and Goulds together and never had any problems...but there are always exceptions to the rule I guess, dependant on aviary size,amount of nesting sites, multiple feed stations etc, I have housed Goulds with many finches and never had problems with them, very docile finch almost as docile as Painteds..

Hi,, in one avairy i have Black Headed gouldians, with Starfinches, emblemas red, pair of cordon bleu, 3 pairs of double bars. dont have any problems. in another aviary, have two pairs of red headed gouldians, and in last couple weeks, have had eleven young from them, have two pairs yellow emblemas, and one pair of cordons, which have now got one young, lost two to the cold nights in past few days.
