I am upgrading to a 75 gallon aquarium soon and I want to add an African brown knifefish and a leopard climbing perch (aka leopard bushfish or African spotted leaf fish). My concern is I also have a 5 inch snakeskin gourami going into the 75 gallon and I know they can be aggressive especially towards their own species. The African spotted leaf fish is somewhat similar to a gourami in shape and will mostly likely be 2 inches or smaller. So do you think they can live together peacefully or at least with minimal aggression (By this I mean a small amount of aggression that will not be harmful). Also I believe the knife fish will get along with both of them but if anyone disagrees please speak up. I just want to be as sure as possible that all these fish will get along. Any advice is appreciated.

I think a leopard climbing perch is actually a type of gourami or closely related, so probably not a good idea to have multiple gouramis in the same tank.
Yeah I was concerned about that but not just because they are similar but because of the size difference. I have seen a YouTube video of a leopard climbing perch living with a snakeskin gourami and there was no aggression. However the leopard climbing perch was also an inch bigger. So I know they can live together I was just wondering if the large size difference would be an issue. Thanks for your fast response.
