Dwarf Gouramis are nice because they don't get to big. Also they are available in beautiful colors and patterns.

Haha think I'll stick with just the one piece for now and keep my clear water

Finally got my water tested at the LFS today, the main ones I was interested in was the Hardness of the water but they got very different results to me for the pH and Nitrates :s
 
GH: 10
KH: 10
pH: 7.2 (My tests say 8)
Nitrites: 0 
Nitrates: Slight (Mine read between 20-40ppm)
Ammonia: Didn't give but my test says 0.25ppm possibly 0 hard to tell
