gold and blue gourami

My question is if both a gold and blue gourami can live in a 45 gallon. My tank is 45 gallons high and is shaped like a diamond. Also, can both of these fish live with freshwater hatchet fish, bloodfin tetras and glass catfish.

Blue and gold gouramis are color variations of the same species and while they tend to do ok in a community setting they tend to be highly intolerant of their own kind. You might get lucky and not have issues but there is a very real possibility you will. I've kept those fish for years and even ones that got along just fine eventually turned on each other and it's not like a nipped fin the injuries inflicted in the weaker ones are designed to kill. I would just choose one

Alright, thanks. I think I`m going to go with the gold one.
