Sounds alright. I would get maybe a few cories as a cleaning crew, they do a relatively good job.

if you can find any, the rare siamese algae eater(SAE) would be a good bet for a cleaner fish... keep only 1-2 of the peac-loving fish in a 30G and they will keep your tank clean of algae.. esp. the red ones, they are the only fish known to eat red algae..

be wary of SAE look-alikes like the flying fox... which tend to be a little more aggressive and eat less algae when they mature!

have fun with your new fish tank!

just a note, dwarf gouramis may attack each other but with a 30G and plenty of shelter, caves, plants etc.. it should not be too much of a problem...
