An "Umbee" (Caquetaia Umbriferus) grows to around 60cm (over 24 inches). Most Gouramies only grow to around 4 inches. Umbees eat other fish as part of their natural diet. How long do you think a Gourami would last? Minutes or hours? You would need at least a 75 gallon properly heated/filtered tank to house an Umbee by itself.
A:No, not even a giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) but they can houseed with Oscars (I've had them do well together in a 150 gallon tank). Gouramis can be aggressive and fin nippers to each other and smaller fish, but no match to the Umbee. The umbee is sometimes called a "water wolf" and will try to bite YOUR hand off let alone the gourami.

Can honey dwarf gourami live with dwarf gourami?
I would advise not to add a dwarf gourami with a honey dwarf gourami. The honey gourami is very shy and much smaller than the dwarf gourami, and the dwarf gourami is prone to being very agressive. Depending on your luck, you might get a gourami with a nicer temperment. I wouldn't suggest it though.
