No problems, although without knowing your tank dimensions and ph and temp im not sure how many more i could name? You could try some apistogrammas? Like the blue ram?

I would go for honey gouramis rather than dwarfs. Male dwarfs can be a bit nasty towards females, which it is why it is better to have a least 2 females per make, and I'm not sure a 60 litre tank is big enough for 3 dwarf gouramis, or give the females enough space to get away from the male. They are also prone to dwarf gourami iridovirus, and incurable disease.
Honey gouramis, on the other hand, get along well in pairs and aren't prone to the disease.
