you could, but keep it at one male or you could see some aggression problems between males.

the dwarf gouramis tend to be better suited with angels than other species of gouramis'
just keep an eye for any aggression issues.

Certain gourami types are less ideal than others - my uncle's got a couple of large blue ones in his community 55g and they shredded one of the angels' tips and wrecked a super-delta betta fish too. If you've had the gouramis for a bit - you would be able to guess their temperament - IMHO dwarf ones shouldn't be a prob

I agree with the others that it shouldn't be an issue, but keep in mind that both gouramis and angels can get aggressive (usually within their own breeds, but the gouramis oftimes don't care who's who). Limit the number of males and you should be fine. Instead of Dwarf Gouramis, why not consider Pearl Gouramis (Trichogaster leeri) as they tend to be more peaceful than other gourami species?
:cool:
