OK so like my work is moving into new premises and the boss has said I can have a fish tank there.

YEAH

My four footer hasn't been in use and will use this as the tank. (4foot long X 18 high X 15 width)

I have 3 Kissing Gouramis that are about 6 inch long that will go into the tank and was thinking of 2 black angels. And then some Guppies (I know they may not survive but if I get small Angels this won't be an issue) also 2-4 bristlenose catfish after a few weeks when there is some algea there for them to start eating.

Would this be OK and could I put in some more fish??? Maybe a Dwarf Coral Blue Gourami????

I would go with the 2 Kissing Gourami, 2 Angels, 2 BN & 8/10 Corydoras.

Are you going to plant the tank? I personally would go with either gouramis or angels myself, but there should be problems mixing them; however, I would not add any dwarf gouramis at all, or guppies for that matter. Corys will be great along the bottom, though, and you could have quite a large school in a tank that big.

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

I already have the 3 kisses and they will be the first in the tank and then build from that.

Why no guppies????

Just remember to keep in mind that while slow growing,
Kissing Gouramis grow very large and live a very long life.
My Uncle has a mated pair he has had for 23 years now, and they are 14 and 12 inches respectively.
So while the tank may be ok, in about another decade they may outgrow it lol

Yeah I know they will grow.

At present they fit prefectly. In time I will get a 5 footer or even a 6 footer to put them into.
