how about some blue rams or you could get some kribensis which are also a dwarf cichlid african buterfly fish or a tiger barb but I dont know how well they will go with the fish u have.

if you are interested in heavily planting the tank, you can get a banded bushfish from wetspot for about 7$ and they get about 3.2 inch long....

you could consider semi aggressive tank mates, perhaps some Tiger barbs.

One red tail black shark should fit, they grow 6" and you should only keep one per tank.

Anything really neat would require you to rehome the gourami. The most interesting predator you can own in that size tank would be a small school of bucktooth tetra. They are basically small piranha, except they are considerably more aggressive than actual piranha.

Um. Do not put Tiger Barbs in a 20g.
And red tailed sharks require 80g+. NEVER put a rts in a 20g. End of story.

Would yall say a leaopard ctenopoma? Would be too big in a 22 gall cube (16" x16") if he were the only fish in there besides Guppies shrimp AMD an apple snail that I could take out if I have to?
