I have a male and two female dwarf gouramis in a 95 litre well planted tank.

I was wondering if I can get a trio of pearl gouramis, or if the males (pearl and dwarf) would fight.

In alternative what would you suggest?
 
I am not sure to be honest. But in my 30 gallon tank, I have 1 Opaline Gourami (2"), 1 Gold Gourami (2"), 2 Flame Gourami (1.5"), 1 Powder Blue Gourami (1.5'), 3 Mollies One black, one white, one dalmation all 1-1.5'), A white Calvus (1"), and a "Leopard Gourami" aka Spotted Climbing Perch (1') and a ghost shrimp or two.

I have no issues with agression except with my Gold gourami. He (or she) gets a little nippy. Other than that everyone is fine. They all like the added salt and live plants and are thriving. :D

I do not know the genders of the fish.... but due to their pretty colors, probably males.

You could possible fit a pair of Pearls if you didn't already have the Dwarfs in there. The male Pearl would chase the living crap outta all the Dwarf G's just because he'd feel confined.

At that size those Gouramis and Mollys are still very young. I would expect some trouble when they mature. :crazy:

They don't chase each other as is?

What tank mates do you suggest? I'd prefer to keep an Asian biotope.
Up to recently they were living with 4 juvenile adolfo's corys, 2 rams, 6 cardinals and a juvenile bristlenose, but these have been moved to an amazon biotope tank.
 
You can see in my sig what I keep with my male DG. Not had any trouble yet, he keeps himself to himself.
