Can a gouramis and a siamese fighting fish live in harmony in a 2 gallon tank or will they fight? They do look alike...

a 2 gallon tank is WAY too small for any gourami, if they were in a larger aquarium you could do it.

Well, 2 gallons is really too small for two fish of this size. But in a larger tank one male Betta with a gourami or two would be fine.

No
First- the tank is too small, Only a male betta could fit in it. Bettas are territorial in tanks less then 5 gallons.
Second- Gouramis are from the same family as bettas, and it is very rare for them to get along, gouramis always win.

Are you just playing a joke on us or are you really serious?
Gouramis are lunch to most fish, even the tiny tetras. Especially those long thin pectoral fins. The tetras and others will much them right to nubs.
Even some gouramis can't be put together.

you shouldn't keep a gourami in a small tank, and you shouldn't put both of those fish in a tank together. Gourami's are community fish, but from my experience, they are tail biters, so they will shred your Betta's tail up in a matter of days.

You should not even be considering to put a Gourami in a 2g tank.

I think it will be a little crowded,and they will pick on each other.
