It's a powder blue dwarf gourami. And I have never seen any agressive from it or the rainbows. I had a dwarf gourami in the past that was pretty agressive but this one hasn't been at all.

It's been a long while so I thought I should post an update. For the longest time I wanted to try Discus in my tank. I was always put off by the time, effort and money that has always been associated with them. But I couldn't help myself and finally made the leap about a year ago.
As part of that, I decided to stop using CO2 and change to a more low tech setup, with easier plants. I was not willing to abandon plants altogether though and go bare bottom like the discus purists preach. I also knew it would not be possible to keep up with daily water changes, even twice a week would be hard. I was determined to try though even if I failed miserably.
Here is the tank today....

I'm sure discus people will be able to find growth deficiencies with my fish. And the plants definitely aren't the healthiest. But I feel pretty happy with both my fish and the overall aesthetics of the tank. And I did it my way, with a maintenance schedule that I can make work. So for me it's a success.

Beautiful tank and fish! Is that a goldfish in there too?

Thanks! Yeah my daughter's preschool teacher sent her home with a tiny goldfish one day and of course it had to go in the tank. It was around the same time I got my young discus so the goldfish got the 5x a day diet as well. And now it's even bigger than they are. It's pretty but if it were up to me I'd give it away. It's her fish though so it's in there for the foreseeable future.
