I just got my 2 powder blue gourami and their hiding in the brush at the bottom of the tank should I worry
 
Welcome to AA

They will be timid at first but once they are comfortable, they will come out. The thing that I would be worried about is once they find each other. Dwarf gouramis are like bettas, they will fight to the death (Even females will fight).
 
Right now their hiding with each other since their the only 2 aggressive fish in my 55 gallon tank do u think they should be ok living together or do you think I will still have issues
 
Did you get them from the same tank at your lfs? Are they males or females? If they are two females that came from the same batch of fry, they may be ok. Time will tell... as Ty said, they will become less timid once they get used to their new tank.
 
Yes I got both of them from the same tank and their both females thanks for the help
