first off, what is "rtbs"? Second, as far as the danios, and dwarf gouramis, you're good there, but as far as the other two gourami types go, I've heard that they can get a bit aggressive, especially towards smaller fish. I've never even seen a gold gourami, but pearl gouramis are easily three times the size of a dwarf gourami when they aren't even near full size....so you can get a bit of an idea what a "smaller" fish is to them. Also, What exactly is a "rainbow" fish? I've never heard of them, and I can't find them in the database. I'd have to do some research to help you out on that one, so maybe you should try looking on google, or perhaps another fish site? Or, if you can't find anything, and you're worried about bullying,you could try something like a few dwarf gouramis instead? They're H-A-R-D-Y, and they're cool looking too. Good luck!

Yes, the gold gourami can be agressive(a.k.a. blue gourami, three-spot gourami), but I don't believe the pearl gourami is aggresive at all
Also, I'm pretty sure there are different kinds of rainbowfish, so what kind did you want?
Besides that, since danios are schooling fish, one more could be added to make a "proper" school
