Would wrestling halfbeaks work for a 29 gallon community tank?

I was wondering if wrestling halfbeaks would do well in a 29 gallon about 31 by 15 inches? I asked on reddit previously but people were mixed about it. If I do end up getting them would they do OK with a honey gourami and some kuhli loaches?

I think it depends on quite a few factors such as how many, how it’s set up, level of maintenance,  attitude of the specific honey gourami in particular etc. but overall I don’t see why it wouldn’t work what part were they concerned about on Reddit if I may ask?

I posted a proposed stocking list which was admittedly overstocked so I decided to cut out a few fish. But some people were saying halfbeaks shouldn't be in tanks under 40g at all. I'm not sure if they were talking obout other halfbeak species or what.
