Looking For Tank Buddies For My Gouramis.......

[mattlee]

Hi, i currently have a new tank with 2 male dwarf gouramis that i hope is almost cycled (thanks to those who have been helping me with this). now i can start looking for possible tank buddies for my 2 fish with a hope of buying some in the next week or two and would appreciate peoples opinions/ experiences with gouramis. i have looked about and like the look of a few different species which i have listed below and would like to know compatability or even if my tank is big enough..... (its an viaqua ar620 90 ltrs). also your suggestions are welcomed,

tiger barbs
polka dot loach
asian sun catfish
male siamese fighting fish

i am hopefully trying to set up a friendly communal tank with plenty of colour and some groups of fish that swim around together for the great effect it gives....
my local aquatic shop has asian sun catfish and state that they only grow to 12cm but i have seen some on the web that are 14 inches.... as they have not really done me proud since purchasing my tank from them with their info i have doubts in what they say and am looking for an experienced opinion not a selling opinion if you know what i mean!!!!!!!!

Matt.

dwarf gouramis tend to be fin nippers, and are very territorial. I had a pair one time that ended up killing each other over night. It was a sad morning
so...
no on the fighting fish
the barbs will need to be in a small school at least 5 or they will nip at the gouramis
i dont know about the other two. hope i helped some.
