I think the Angels would work, but as stated, the Gourami's can get a bit of an attitude. If you prefer a peaceful tank, you might want to move the Gourami's and add the small Angel group. If you leave the Gourami's in there, it is possible they will nip at the Angel's longer fins since they are slower moving fish and those things are tempting.

I would definitely get a few more (like 6) of the juli cory's too since they do much better in a group. They're social fish, so you'd see a lot more "cuteness" out of them when they feel more comfortable.

I say, you wont know until you try what it is you want to do.

Since you have a 60 g, you have much more space then a smaller tank. I find this to be very important when dealing with fish that can get territorial.

I agree with what everyone else has said in regards to getting more than one. Your girl will love the look of a few angels swimming around, and should enjoy watching them grow and mature.
