theres aggressive, semi aggressive, and peaceful "tropical community fish". if you're asking if semi aggressive and peaceful can be mixed together..its a yes and no. it depends what fish. you dont want to add a semi aggressive fish like an anglefish, with peaceful neon tetras--they'll get eaten.

add on details of what fish you're thinking about mixing,and i can help you out more...but if youre asking if you can mix a gourami with other fish..the answer is yes.

gouramis dont need brackish water. they are freshwater. i have one in my 55g tank with other freshwater fish :] dwarf gouramis are more peaceful, and the bigger ones (gold, and 3spot/blue) gouramis are more aggressive. they are territorial, so only get one.
 
Can I mix semi-aggressive and tropical community fish happily, or will my community fish get eaten? Is there a way I can avoid those problems?

Do gourami fish need brackish water, or are they able to thrive in fresh too? I really like them, but I'm not sure it's worth a whole new set-up for a brackish tank.
I was just at the fish store and the card on the gourami tanks said they required aquarium salt, I took this to mean brackish water?

I have: cherry barbs, glassfish, platty, neon tetras, Buenos Aires tetras, hifin pleco, and African dwarf frogs. They all do fine together(knock on wood). I really love some of the semi-agressive types, but don't want my current population to become food. Sorry I don't know what I would want specifically.
