Pink kissers can get quite large: http/freshaquarium.about.com/cs/anabanti...singgourami.htm

You would need a bigger tank for a pair of them.

The tank isn't large enough for pink kissing gourami in my opinion, they can grow upto about 12"

I've got 2 pink kissers, 1 was my fist fish bought from a guy who kept a pair in a 100l tank, he sold me the fish and tank when one died. Although she is now in a 6ft tank it is obvious that she was stunted as she has not grown beyond the 5" I got her at and is quite disease prone.

In contrast the 1.5" Kisser I got that has a deformed mouth from a local pet shop is now longer and deeper that the stunted fish - they have been kept together in the same conditions for 2 years.

The moral of this story - 100l is no good for a kisser.

To be honest you are fully stocked with your current fish. At most add 3 more rosy barbs.
