Sorry, but in a 58 gallon tank, you don't have the room for anymore fish. The gouramies likely will fight for space, and adding anything else will be a problem. IMO, your tank is not overstocked, but it's close--mostly based on the territory needs of your existing fish.

How long has the tank been setup and running?
 
setup and running

Hmm around 3 weeks .......
I dont beleave in the "cycle perod" yeah sure it has to happen but IMHO when i get a tank i want it to be cool straght away and i just dose it with Nitravec and Bio Super Concetrate, when ever there is a spike and not be afraid of the volume it says to you cant overdose on these products i find.

Im taking back the blue spotty groumie cuss he is a Little Mean fuller

i am still looking for this Big fish that can rule my tank but .... be peaceful

You gotta be kidding me. Something "to rule the tank" is probably a predatory fish and will eat those others. Why not just settle for a school of nice, small fish? I've always looked at having a tank as a sort of zen thing.
 
I would suggest doing a little research on tank cycling. It DOES happen, and is the most important step to setting up a healthy aquarium. Also, I wouldn't add anymore fish for a while. This tank is still a baby, and needs time to stabilize. Remember, the fish are cool to look at, but they will not live if you don't develop an appropriately sized colony of bacteria to support them. It would be like not having a toilet in your house to remove the waste. You would be pretty grumpy after 3 weeks. Sorry for the tiny rant, but I'm a microbiologist and have spent quite a bit of time learning about the processes and importance of bacteria in an aquarium. I think that everyone should research it so that they can make an INFORMED decision about how to handle their cycle.
