I don't know much about killifish but I do know that most killifish keepers and breeders advice to only keep killifish at one species per tank. I don't know if yours are likely to all try and cross breed but it might be worth double checking so you don't end up with a whole heap of hybrids.

I wouldn't add the clown killies, they are just going to end up food for something else.

I didn't realize the size, i probably won't add the clown kilifish.

Usually people sell breeding pairs of killifish, i'm pretty sure killi pairs don't breed with other killi pairs, but i might be wrong.

There is the chance that closely related species may hybridize. If you go with very different species this won't be a problem. I think you should add 3-6 pearl gouramis with 1 male for every 2 females. They'll be more out and about and feel more secure that way. You have the room for a group.

with the panchax killis, don't have more than 1 male. I made that mistake and the weaker males got bullied/chased to death by the dominant one.
