Pearls really do better in at least trios, imho, a male and 2 females..or in larger groups with one male. I have 6 females and a male in a 125 gal.. As long as the Dwarf gourami is ok they should be fine..even if the dwarf has an attitude, the Pearls size should throw it off..

Did, however, have quite a nasty dwarf at the beginning of the year that attacked the other female in the tank and even the zebra danios. But I got a female betta, she seemed to sort hime out. Unfortunately, both of those gouramis were victims of an attack from kribs. and the kribs died in the end.... weird. sumo [span class="edited"][Edited by 2004-09-07 03:34][/span]

I keep a number of different Gourami together with no problems at all. I find a lot of the time gourami aggression is between males of the same species. 2 male Blues may fight or 2 male dwarves may fight, but a male Blue and a male dwarf will probably pretty much ignore one another. I'd think you would be fine with a dwarf and a Pearl. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
