If you skip the gouramis you could make your corys a nice breeding colony.
I don't even miss other fish in my cory tanks, they are so playful and fun to watch, and super easy to raise.
Just hang a breeding net on the side, scrape off all eggs on some plants or leaves, sometimes I will just cut of a whole leaf if there are lots of eggs on. the bigger fry leave the small ones and eggs alone. Also the adult fish will come and suck any leftover fry food through the net, so it stays clean.
So, you need minimal invasive husbandry. I have a few baby ancistrus in my one tank, but only because it has plenty snails to help eat any leftover cucumber.
