More so though Pacu are farmed as a food fish. That equals ample supply and low cost. Same goes for other large fish that tend to be dirt cheap like large catfish, and the same reasons LFS sell them.

Mixing fish IMO is "a higher level" of fishkeeping if you would. You need to research temperment, water temp, growth rate, max size, feeding habits, etc of all the species you plan to mix. I would agree with whoever said it your angels/gourami's wouldn't do well in this tank. Also a possiblity depending on what food the pacu/oscars have been raised on that your fish could get eaten.
Also get rid of the pacu. But if you honestly can't euthenize a pet fish check with you local fish store before you pick this up. As alot of pet stores will not accept pacu back. Also most aquariums won't take them for donations. So most people end up in a bind with pacu that are growing fast and they don't have anything to do with. Hate to see you end up with the same.

Agree.. no pbass in that tank. You sound like you're at a beginner level of fishkeeping. Which is cool we all have to start there. But for right now probably best to keep it simple IMO and not get fish that will outgrow your tank.
If you need some help with ideas for stocking I would start a new thread. List the fish you have, tank size and ask for ideas on fish to go with them. And then go from there and research species that more experianced people would suggest and find which one(s) you like best.
you might be able to keep the kisser gouramis with the oscars, but it would have to be at least a 6 foot tank
