Yes, you can for now, but they do grow fairly quick and they can be very aggressive. Since you already have one that's established, its going to want to drive out the newcomer from its territory. What are your future plan with the gourami(s) since even 1 can't really live in a 5 foot tank for life?

It depends on the personality. I would say 9 out 10 ten times it will result in aggression/death. It would be a lot easier to raise them together from young and find pares that tolerate each other. They can be tough on conspecifics...
