Sparkling Gourami Biotype ?

[snowflake311]

I was thinking of getting some pygmy cory cats but they do not really go with the Gourami. and I have lots of moss and plants not sandy bottom. so the tank is not really set up for cory cats. 
 
Its a 20 gal Long well planted. It was a shrimp tank but I am over these shrimp and I have my CRS in a 7gal. So this 20 gal is going back to the fish. 
 
Right now I have a pair of sparkling gouramis , 2 otos, one pygmy cory ( the only one left 

 ). I have tiger shrimp in the tank too and I know the babies will be great live food for these tiny hunters. I had a breeding pair of sparkling gouramis but they were hunting my shrimp. At the time I wanted a shirmp only tank. Now I miss my fish. 
 
So what other small nano type fish are found in the wild with sparkling gouramis?

Well none of the fist you've listed are found with sparkling gourami's in the wild. 
 
I would think a lot of rasbora species would be found with sparkling gourami's in the wild. Harlequins, mosquito rasbora's and many others. 
 
This should be helpful and is what a real south east Asian biotope should look like:

They also suggest dwarf chain loaches I think, and I'm sure Kuhlii loaches would fit in too.

Yeah I know that.  Thats why I am asking for help the oto and cory cat can and will be moved. to another tank. This is just what I have at the moment.  It is not the tank stock I want.
