Would a pearl gourami be fine with a small shoal of Buenos Aires tetra in a 40 gallon breeder or would the tetras nip at the gourami?
Has your group of BA tetras been nippy towards other similar fish?
All you can do is try. I do love pearls. I had a female for a number of years.

No they haven’t but they’re still quite small around an inch 1/2, and what size tank was your gourami in and what else was it kept with, thanks.
It depends on the specimens of pearl gourami and of BA tetras, the number of BA tetras, and the order of events.
If the tetras are still small, and the pearl gourami coming anew is a larguish male, it could be okay.
But I would not introduce anew a pearl gourami into a tank already containing an established group of full grown BA tetras. They are not terribly nippy, but nippy they are, and they act as a pack. Good luck!

I kept my pearl in a planted community 55gal tank. I had a few Siamese algae eaters, some zebra danios an angel and a bunch of corydoras at the time.
