I've never had problems in the past with Gourami's. I would probably stay away from the flame gouramis. I've had honey and blue neons with no problems.

Tiger Barbs get to be 3" each and need to be in schools of at least 6 or they will terrorize their tankmates. Too much for a 20 gallon. When kept properly, they are great fish. The Dwarf Chain Loach is an option. They stay quite small, but they do like companionship, so you need a few of them. I have some and like them a lot. I have 3 in a 20 long. They were shy at first, but now they come out all the time and they stay to about 2.5 inches full grown AND they eat snails. And they cute to boot.

I'd stay away from dwarf gourami. Many are coming into the country with Dwarf Gourami Disease. It is running rampant, some lfs' aren't even carrying them right now it is so pervasive. Google it. They are also quite aggressive when they mature. I've had several pairs and they've always turned out to be a pain in the but when they mature.
