Yeah a school of 12 or two schools of 6 would work.

Don't count on Gouramis getting along. It may work for some, but keep a close eye. Some DGs are major fighters with each other. Honeys seem fine but others not always. Fish are individuals. They don't always behave as expected.

My friend wouldn't listen to me and put some in a 16g. Major fights. All dead from wounds.
Heavily planted helps. Larger tanks help.
They are a cousin to the Betta.

Hopefully a 30s enough if they have a pearl gourami or a larger gourami I'll just get one of those instead of 3 or 2 and yeah their both labyrinth fish

Avoid any 3 Spot Gouramis of any color. I think a 30g would be too small for one. They get quite aggressive as they grow.

I suggested a Pearl as they are one of the few larger Gouramis that tend to stay peaceful IMHO.
YMMV

Paradise can be very aggressive. Pearls are the only peaceful large Gourami AFAIK.
