Gouramies don't tend to get along with each other very well, so I would get only one, or a mated pair, or a trio with one male and 2 females.
However...
Gouramies and Angels will also sometimes fight because they are both surface fish, both territorial, and both are after the same resources in terms of food and mating "grounds." I would say that the gouramies, while beautiful and full of character, may not be compatible with the community you have in mind. Angels pair well with some of the larger tetras, or large schools of smaller tetras. In such a large tank, you could get a school of 20 or so neons, cardinals or rummynose tetras, or small schools of 6-12 larger tetras such as diamond, black skirt, bleeding heart, or black/red phantom tetras.

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

Well casperjoker,

I think you are pushing it a little. This are 41 fish in your 60G, of which quite a few will be 3 inches plus.

Another problem I see, although I have no personal experience with it, are the 7 Gouramies. There will be quite some fighting about supremacy in a rather limited space. Each one of them wants their own territory where they could, at least theoretically, tend to a bubble nest.

How about getting only one pair of Gouramies?

I would up the group of Cories to at least 6 though, as they like company.

And be careful that you select a pleco that doesn’t grow too large (no specialist on plecos here).

And you might have to remove the Angels once they get big and might develop a taste for Neons.

Just my thoughts,

Ingo

Hi there casperjoker, welcome to FP

I agree that it would be a good idea if you list how many fish of each kind you would like to have.

Or is this more of a list that you would select only a few species from?
