Should I really get Brazilian Puffer Fish???

My tank finally completed cycle. I talked with my LFS and preordered 2 brazillian puffers. They are due in November. Listed are my current fish. LFS store said everything should be perfect since they are a community fish. Any suggestions? Will the Gourami's fight with them? Thanks for any feedback!
