German Blue Ram, Honey Gourami or Angelfish with Platies and Rasboras

I have a planted 36 Gallon Bow Tank.

18+ Platy (in various stages of growth from fry to adults)
8x Harlequin Rasboras

The tank is doing great. Some Platy frys are growing out to adulthood, and for the most part, self-regulating (some frys get eaten by the bigger platies).

There's no aggression at all in this tank which the family likes.

Of course, I would like to add a single fish, to add a little flair to the tank. Either a German Blue Ram, Honey Gourami or Angelfish.

I understand, that most likely, there will no longer be any surviving frys and I'm fine with that being that I already have a lot of platies in this tank.

I would like to keep this as a peaceful tank. Would it be possible with any of these 3 ?

Yup! A honey gourami would be perfect.

Would a male / female Honey Gourami pair work ok as well? Or would they get aggressive during mating/breeding?

I find my honey gourami is the most peaceful fish I have. A pair would be fine. No aggression unlike dwarf gouramis.

Honeys are beautiful little fish, however the males can be aggressive. Aggression usually results from multiple males being kept in a smaller sized tank aggression but the females are usually more peaceful and less aggressive compared to the males. They are great tank mates for other peaceful fish though.
