Will these fish fight? help with stocking 55 gallon.

[PlantedGourami]

Ok, so I’m pretty new to fish keeping and I was recently given a 260 litre/ 55 gallon tank.
I’ve been playing with a few ideas but have settled on stocking with fish on the larger side. I am not sure if this will work as the gouramis may fight but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have purchased some bags of soil and sand, for the tank and I plan on attempting to make it heavily planted. I will do weekly water changes but I’m not sure of what amount just yet.

CentrePiece Fish:
2x Female Three Spot Blue Gourami (One From a smaller tank)
2x Female Pearl Gourami
5x honey Gourami(four females, one male.)
(The idea above is that the honey gouramis will be in a larger group and there for won’t be picked on.)

Fish:
3x Brislenose Catfish(All in smaller tanks)
6x zebra danios
6x Congo Tetras
4x kuhli loaches or 4x Bolivian Rams


Would Increasing the pearl and blue gouramis reduce aggression or am I better off reducing the species of gouramis?
Thanks in Advance.

I like the way they look.

No. The blue gouramis will bash or kill the small gouramis.
You should only have 1 species of labyrinth fish (Bettas or Gouramis) per tank otherwise they fight.

Don't mix congo tetras with small gouramis.

4 Bolivian rams might fight depending on if you get prs and the tank size. If you want a pr, get 6-8 fish, grow them up and let them pr off naturally. Then keep 1pr and remove the others.

What are the tank dimensions (length x width x height)?

What is the GH (general hardness), KH (carbonate hardness) and pH of your water supply?
This information can usually be obtained from your water supply company's website or by telephoning them. If they can't help you, take a glass full of tap water to the local pet shop and get them to test it for you. Write the results down (in numbers) when they do the tests. And ask them what the results are in (eg: ppm, dGH, or something else).

Depending on what the GH of your water is, will determine what fish you should keep.
Angelfish, most tetras, barbs, Bettas, gouramis, rasbora, Corydoras and small species of suckermouth catfish all occur in soft water (GH below 150ppm) and a pH below 7.0.

Livebearers (guppies, platies, swordtails, mollies), rainbowfish and goldfish occur in medium hard water with a GH around 200-250ppm and a pH above 7.0.

If you have very hard water (GH above 300ppm) then look at African Rift Lake cichlids, or use distilled or reverse osmosis water to reduce the GH and keep fishes from softer water.
