I can see the Angle fish having problems with the Betta. Actually the Angle fish would probably be fine with all the others.The Betta would also be O.K. with the others, but the two together would bring stress to the tank. The Gouramis can live with about anything that wont eat them and there to fast for the Betta and Angle fish to really expend to much effort on. They will content to nip each other. I really don't know that much about discus other than they aren't much problems to other fish but can make a good target for some species so be aware.

Discus and angelfish are BOTH cichlids. Bettas are not bloodthirsty killers. Dwarf gouramis can and do get kind of nippy with other slow moving fish (which all of your other choices are).
Also, the angels sometimes carry a disease that is harmless to them but deadly to the discus. Some have pulled it off and not lost their discus, but I wouldn't take the chance with fish as pricey as discus.
Bottom line... this is not a good mix of fish for a 75 gallon tank. I agree, it would look great, but the chances for a lot of problems are there.

No, a filtered and heated 5 gallon is the minimum for a betta alone Angelfish requires a heated and filtered 35 gallon tank minimum. The angelfish would be fine with the guppies in a larger tank at least 40 Gallon , but the guppies should be kept with 1 male to 3-4 females because the male will bug the female until she gets stressed and die Koi can grow to several feet in length and require a pond, they are also coldwater and shouldn't be in with tropical fish.

Dwarf Discus Fish

No, the angels and the discus is not a good match. Angels are cichlids, and can become territorial and aggressive as they mature. The betta is not a good idea either, as your discus are very colorful fish, and the betta may attack it. Same goes for you dwarf gouramis (at least the neon blue and flame gourami).

I have read that a male betta fish will sometimes attack gouramis as they mistake them for one of their own. I have never kept the two fish together so I cannot speak from experience but that is the word on the street.

No, I don't think it would be wise to mix the male betta in with the others. I did this once, and the betta killed the other fish (i had him in with a mollie and an angelfish)

NO! Maybe without the betta. Those things will try to (and very well may)kill the other fish.Bettas are very territorial.Ask a Petsmart assistant or the assistant where ever you buy the fish.

See the details in your other question about this, but I really wouldn't recommend it.
