No.

Because
a) They will all end up killing each other.
b) That tank is too small for even one.
c) Several of those Gouramis are incompatible.

Please tell me you didn't put them in there already...

Oh **** hahah umm yeah I had them for 2 months now but their so friendly... So which ones arent compatible with each other? Cause I'll get a 50 gallon in 3 months time or so

The red and powder blues are all the same genus and can get aggressive with each other. The honeys and pearls are peaceful and could get killed off from stress. Your tri-spots will grow aggressive IMO and even in a 50 Gallon tank there is not enough room for all those pairs to have territories and they'll kill each other. They may be getting along now, but as they mature they will get more aggressive. You will have to give some back to the fish store you bought them from.

That can work.

They're all different species, so it won't really matter that much. Did someone sex them all for you or did you sex them all yourself?

I did :L the males dorsal fin is pointy and females are curved right? And some makes have more color hen females. But also atm I think my flame dwarf is pregnant with the powder dwarf
