It all depends on the personality of your gourami. I myself being a gourami addict have had many gouramis over the years. From what i have observed is that Opaline, Blue, and Gold gourami's tend to be a little more aggressive than the Pearl and Dwarf varieties. I never keep more than one Opaline, Blue, or Gold gourami in a tank as i found that adding more than one will greatly increase aggression, but they dont seem to mind if other gourami's like a Sunset gourami is in the tank with him.
I have had great success with keeping 4 gouramis in a 29 gallon tank. This should be a big no-no but i have a heavily planted tank with carefully selected species of gouramis. I have 1 sunset, 1 opaline, 1 pearl, and 1 recently added dwarf (rescue)
They gouramis all get along with eachother and never touch or harm any other smaller fish, even very small neon's and ghost shrimp.
If i can get away with 4 gouramis in a 29, then you should be able to get away with 1 gourami in a 65! Good luck, and i hope you decide to keep the gourami!
