Blue Rams and Gouramis

from what I've heard about rams - i've never kept them - they would be compatible with any of those gourami.
Depends on the size of the tank. I had a pair of GBR with a pair of golden gouramies in a 38 gallon (3' tank). While I won't say they lived happily without arguing, they did well together, the only problems I had were during feeding time between the males of both species, they always went for the same shrimp pellet.
Since they inhabit completely different water sections they shouldn't encounter each other much, that's why my squabbles were always at feeding time.

:iagree:
We have a tank setup for a pair of GBRs, a male dwarf gourami and chocolate gourami. They usually stay the different layer and don't fight each other. (Gouramis on the top mid-top level & GBR on the mid-bottom level)
We also have the similar experience with feeding. But, our gouramis prefer Kent's premier flake and GBRs prefer granule and small chiclid sinking pellet.
We feed flakes first where gouramis are staying, then feed small chiclid sinking pellet where GBRs are staying. It works fine.
The real feeding problem is Wed (brian shrimp day) & Thur (Bloodwarm day). They both really like them / compete each other and are bit bully each other. But not so serious. We still try to solve this problem though.
