Hi Tom

It would depend on what other fish you have, but a tank that size would be suitable for most Gourami's. When you say 6 Angles, do you mean a Hex tank? Did you have a particular Gourami in mind?

no its a standard rectangular one.

the other fish will be corys, rams plecos and probably a schooling fish

i dont know much about gouramis, do they all get a similar size, apart from honey and dwarf etc

i would want to get about 4

I don't have any Cichlids in my tank, and my experience is with Gold Gourami's and Honeys. I have 2 female Goldies, and they are stunning and very peaceful. I have 3 honeys, and the oldest male has started to build a bubble nest, and he is quite "defensive" about his territory, but not in any way that is detrimental to the other fish. My tank is a peaceful community tank, and everyone gets on. I had thought about getting a male Goldie, but after reading up found they can be quite aggressive, and being that much larger then Honey's, I did not want to risk upsetting the balance.

I really love Gourami's, they are amazing fish, I do have a BN Pleco, Corys, Otos, Cardinal Tetra's and Odessa Barbs with no problem at all. Hopefully someone can answer whether your Rams would be compatible

I would add that my Gold Gourami's are about 4 inches (10cm). maybe a little more. (I think getting towards maximum size). Hope this helps. Obviously there are many more Gourami types available. This is just my experience.
