I was wondering if anyone knew of a green-greenish catfish or bottom feeder, that is hardy. I really would like to find a fish in the green color to fit in with my rainbow tank. And one that will go with my four colors of gouramis.

I have a color variation of c. aeneous or bronze cory that is greenish in color, sold as emerald green cories.
^Was thinking the same thing.
Emerald Green Cories are most often Brochis splendens (had to think twice before using the usual convention of abbreviating the generic epithet when it had already been mentioned in the thread...B. splendens is too often associated with something else!) which have been misidentified as cories.
I am a little concerned about the gouramies, but I'm also concerned about the solo kuhli and the pair of tetras...they might be happier with conspecific company as well.

I have a green cory (brochis splendens) like everyone else suggested. They're cute, stay small (4'' max) and are green ish. They're also hardy...
I have Green-Gold Corys, but I will let you know they are EXTREMELY excitable IME!!! 
They very very active and very skitish to movement. I have kept them groups of 6 and as little as 2. The smaller groups are less skitish in my experience, but their colors are amazing!!!
My C. melanotaenia (Green-Gold), enjoy!
