I was recently at my local fish store (A World Of Fish in Minnesota) and fell in love with a powder blue dwarf gourami! Sadly, I also fell in love with a flame dwarf gourami! My problem is if I can keep both in 1 tank. I am getting this tank for Christmas so I would have time to decide, but I really would like the following stocking
1 kribensis cichlid
1 German blue ram cichlid
5 albino Cory cats
5 bleading heart tetras
5 penguine tetras
1 dwarf gouram
If I can I would add another dwarf gourami and add a school of. Phantom tetras. I am either gett ing a 29 gallon long or a 36 gallon long bowfront. Also, in those sizes could I incorporate a rainbow shark? Maybe take out a school of tetras? And finally do Cory's need 6+ or can I keep 3?

Gonna be a no on the dwarf gouramis. They will be too aggressive

Gouramis are anabantoids like bettas, and males will fight if housed together. It's safer with a large tank, but even then there's always a risk. I would definitely just pick one.

That's a lot for a 29. I think it's alright as it is (maybe borderline) but I definitely wouldn't add anything.
