Take the new gouramis back to the store. You had a good thing going. Gouramis can be quite territorial and I doubt the situation will get any better. If you want more fish and the aquarium can handle the bioload, add to the schools of shoaling fish...

20 gallon tanks have almost endless options. What are your water parameters?
