Gahh... another lesson to remember...
Male gouramis don't like to be in close proximity to each other. Except for the honey and flamingo ones. Well, they probably don't like being in close proximity either but at least they don't kill each other over it. Just lost the replacement Burmese chocolate gourami that I picked up a few weeks ago to replace one that "disappeared" while we were on vacation and I'm pretty sure it was nagged to death by the existing one cause I saw him being chased around for awhile. But other times they seemed to get along ok. But anyway, probably not a good idea to keep more than one male gourami around unless you have enough tank space (which obviously I don't in a 5.5 gal). The sole cherry shrimp that I saw in this tank finally passed away as well. Sheesh.
