Question
Will a Honey Gourami, pearl or banded Gourami behave well with a marble angelfish or will it bite it's fins and are black neon tetras fin-nippers as well?

Answer
Hi Thomas!
I think all those fish should do great together. None of them are known fin-nippers and for the most part you'd have a pretty peaceful setup. Just make sure to have the larger black neons or introduce the black neons to the tank first, before the angels, that way they are already established and the angels won't see them as food. Versus, adding the black neons to the tank while the angels have their mind on food!

I hope this helps!
Best wishes,
