Yesterday I got a couple of very pretty Dwarf Gourami. They're not too big yet. I had my heart set on a normal Gold Gourami but after seeing this guy I had to get him. I got this one along with a powdered blue one. Both need names XD

Nope! He's a Dwarf Gourami, which are good because they are more peaceful than they're larger, normal Gourami bretheren nd you can keep more than one in a tank!
I currently have a 20 gallon. Nothing fancy just a TopFin filter and plastic and cloth plants. I'm not really a "serious" fish keeper but from experience any filter that says the capacity of the tank will be fine but overfiltering is usually a good idea of you're scared to go over the capacity of the tank. Usually you want to keep 1-inch to 1-gallon, meaning if you have four fish that are each four inches for a total of 20 inches in a 20-gallon tank, that's all you need to keep in the tank.
As far as other fish I have, the little one you see there is a White Cloud. I've got some of them, another Dwarf Gourami, a Rainbow Shark, some Black Neon Tetras, some Candy Cane Tetras, and some Blushing Rummies. A Striped Raphael atfish may or may not also be in there he's good at hiding. I'm pushing my capacity but I over filter so it evens out. It's usually something that's frowned upon in the Aquarium community but I don't keep any fancy fish. But I do know lots of tricks that people don't tell you, like if you want to keep live bearers like Platies and Mollies yu need to salt your water alot because they come from brackish water so their immune system isn't as good as others. Or that you can actually keep Betta fish in a tank with something docile like a larger school of Tetras or some Loaches or other bottom-feeders. I've done this successfully alot. I have a betta in a 2.5 gallon tank but the only reason he's not in the main tank is because of the Rainbow Shark, which gets really aggressive sometimes.
PM ME AND WE CAN TALK FISH!!
Also I have a Gallery folder labeled "My Fishies" with all my past fishkeeping ventures...And if you want a 75-Gallon tank and live in the South-Eastern USA and are willing to come get it I have it up for grabs XD It's got literally everything you need lol.

Yeah, you're pushing it there with the stocking. I know that you've probably heard it before, but it's safer to understock than it is to overfilter.
And man, I wish I lived in the south east! Chicagoland is a bit too far for me to pick it up...If I could get that 75 gal, I'd plant it and fill it with a school of guppies.
