and some toifel barb 4 inch

i want to clear my tank to bring some new fish so i'm thinking to give the fish to my friends

but

95 gal is not that big... there might be some aggression...

I think that tank is stocked enough but i have a 15" RTGG that lives with fish about the same size, larger and smaller. And one at 8" with larger and much smaller fish like 2-3"

mono angels will need brackish/marine water as they grow

You can keep Giant Gourami with smaller fish depending on the aggressiveness of the giant gourami. I just bought 12 inch (1 feet) Golden Giant Gourami 2 days ago. I put him in my 75 gallon with:
1) 2 paroon sharks (5 inch)
2) 2 upside down catfish (2 inch)
3) 1 leopard pleco (7 inch)
4) 1 moonlight gourami (4 inch)
5) 1 gold gourami (2 inch)
6) 1 dwarf pearl gourami (2 inch)
7) 2 bala sharks (4 inch)
8) 5 silver dollars (5 inch)
9) 4 archer fish (4 inch)
10) 2 black angel fish (4 inch)
11) >10 common bichir (4-7 inch)
12) 3 albino common bichir (4-6 inch)
13) 1 high fin common bichir (5 inch)
14) 1 armored bichir (6 inch)
15) 3 ornate bichir (7-9 inch)
The golden giant gourami is the largest fish in my 75 gallon. He is peaceful and gentle with other fishes. He never take a bite at other fish, even the small feeder fish. He only eat pellet.

Before I bought the golden giant gourami I observe him in a community tank in the pet shop. When I'm really sure that he is peaceful towards other fish, only then I bought him.

Maybe I'll move some of the bichirs to the tank below (same size). Look at picture attached. But I have to wait until the fish in the tank below become bigger, because the bichirs might eat them.

Append below is the pictures of my golden giant gourami that I have left out.
