Also, there will be fighting if no room exists at the surface of the tank, where gouramis normally hang out. If your problems are because of space issues, move at least one gourami. If it is just plain gourami aggression, I'd move two. There is no point in risking the lives of fish if it can be avoided. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
