Fish for new future tank - advice needed

Hi guys, Thanks for all your input. I think I either have to consider
getting a bigger tank, re-thinking my fish choices or just not get a
breeding pair of Acaras. Would everything be fine if I got 2 male
Acaras with the tigar barbs and Gouramis?

How about one Acara then. Two male cichlids will tend to quarrel, the
extent of which depends on the species and the tank size. Nothing good
usually comes out of it.

Tiger barbs are a riot, but hard on other fish. They might terrorize any
gouramis. There are many other barbs though, which are much better
behaved.

Gouramis are too diverse to make too many generalities. They can be
quite territorial. In terms of aggression (from most to least), your
most common a Giant, Golds, Blues, Thick-lipped, Kissing, Pearls,
Dwarfs, Chocolate, Croaking, Licorice & Pygmy, though jmo.
