i had dwarf gouramis, they were aggressive so I removed them from the community tank and put them by themselves, and the two males killed each other. In my personal experience, they are aggressive.

Dwarf gouramies can be aggressive if kept in pairs. You would need more than 2 to keep the aggression a bit spread out. In general gouramies are a 1per tank fish.

I'm a gourami expert take it from me. They can be peaceful if kept with the right type of fish and tank. now tell me what tank,ph, plants you plan on putting in, and fish you will also be putting in. Gouramis sometimes eat algae and are not picky eaters. They like floating Plants. Now the most peaceful Gourami is the powder blue dwarf gourami. It will actually stop almost all fights in the aquarium. but never put two males. always put a ratio of 2/1 1 for males 2 for females. Or you could just get 1 male or female. Anymore questions?
