I'm considering moving my texas cichlids and my red terror (they'll need to be relocated soon anyway) and using the 55gal tank as a community tank. I'd like to go with gourami's and angels. However, I need some info on ideal conditions for gouramis and if they'd be compatible with angels. I'm also considering some of the smaller and friendlier cichlids. Or maybe even gourmis/angels/cichlids at the same time. So I'm just fishing for ideas and opinions here. The main thing I'm looking for is color.
Starting a new tank...maybe.

Gourami's and angels usually get along IME, every once in a while you'll get a gourami who wants to nip fins but this is usally a blue or larger species, and it vary's by individual. If you get Dwarfs you shouldn't have a problem.
Okay, so two votes for dwarf gouramis going well with angels. Do gouramis prefer to be in pairs? Solo? Groups?
As far as I know the only dwarf gourami that sort of "schools" is the chocolate gourami. The rest tend to stake out a territory and call it their own. As long as there is sufficient territories then having a few of them shouldn't matter.
