Are there any fish I could add to my gourami tank? I have six gourami's, each between 1.5-2.5 inches. 29 gallon aquarium. Will advance to 55 gallon as fish grow and expand to larger aquariums as needed.

Welcome...:shappy:
What type of Gouramis do you have? Different species grow to different sizes and some may not be compatible with the others.

You have 6 gouramis in a 29g? I must admit, I am amazed they havent torn each other to shreds. Whast your secret/
I would consider breaking up the 6 gouramis before i'd consider adding other fish

I've had 6 gouramis in a 29G tank in the past. If you have all standard sized gouramis I wouldn't really try to add anything else to the tank. Most gouramis are going to get 3-4 inches or larger as adults. If you have dwarf gouramis some schooling tetras will be ok.
Either way, make sure you have a LOT of cover so the fish don't go nuts chasing eachother.
Here is a photo of my old gourami tank. As you can see. LOTS of cover.
