I've got rainbows, gold and blue gouramis and zebra danios. They get along fine.

In what size tank would these go in?

I only ask because some of those fish (in particular the RTBS and the Gold Gourami) require a decently-sized tank (30+ gallons).

I don't see a problem with anything but the RTBS. I've never had one and from what I've read people are split whether they're agressive with other fish or not.

Oh if possible you might want to add another danio. For some reason size seems to be the magic number in keeping them busy and not nipping other fish.

What sort of rainbowfish are you planning on?

IMO I think it would be fine. You might want to watch out for interaction between the dwarf and gold gouramis...they are both labryinth fish and might not like each other too much. As long as you keep an eye on your tank, it'll be fine.
