My only concern is this - When I first started my tank, I had a male/female pair of Gold Gourami's, Opaline Gourami's (related to the 3 spot, and the Gold for that matter), and 2 Pictus Catfish. Everything was *beautiful*, until the male Gold went ballistic and constantly attacked everyone in the tank, and not just at feeding time. He had some sense to not attack the Pictus's though. Once I got rid of him, and one of the Opaline's died, the two remaining gourami's started attacking eachother, constantly. SO, either I'm cursed with gourami's (which I firmly believe), or these species do not do well together. Perhaps just one of the species with the Moonlight?

it is not really a big matter since they are not my fav anyways....

so i guess i'l take the gouramis out!

you could probably go with one specie sof gourami but it's usually a bad plan to mix labyrinth fishes. you could always try a more peaceful species if you want to have gouramis.
