Whenever I walk over to my tank the blue gouramis freak out and speed to the other side of the tank, sometimes hitting the glass. Any idea why they are doing this? None of the other fish do that. Thanks

Blue Gouramies are a bit of a spooky fish, especially if new to the tank...

You might try some thick, tall bushy plastic plants for the trops to hide in thus providing what they will think is a safe place.

It'll probably stop the rush to the glass and provide a rush to the plants, a softer landing.

Time should slow them down a bit after they discover there's nothing to be afraid of.
