Hi, 
I've kept biv/biteniatum with both australe and gardneri with no
problems, but the two times I kept young australe and gardneri together,
the gardneri did the australe in. Maybe I was unlucky, but I'd be
careful. Chromaphyosemion (biv/bit, etc) work well in communities
because they love the surface, but if the needs of the other species are
similar, expect conflict.
