Neons and most other Tetras should be OK with most of the Gourami family in a well planted tank, under normal circumstances providing the tank is not overstocked. For stocking simply follow the basic rules. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water.:- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you have a "pair" of Dwarf Gouramis, eventually they will decide to build a bubble nest and breed. When this happens any Gourami species will be likely to kill any other smaller fish in the tank in order to protect their breeding place, ova and young, so be prepared to either remove the Gouramis to a breeding tank or put the Tetras into another tank.

Do goldfish need air pumps What other type of fish needs an air pump that can be in a 5 gallon tank?
A goldfish does not need an airpump, it needs 3 stage filtration and good water movement from something such as a box filter and/or power heads. A goldfish, however, is not suited for a 5 gallon tank. 10 gallons per goldfish is the recommended minimum, as they grow very large and require more oxygen than almost any other fish. I would recommend something smaller such as rosy minnows, guppies, or if you get a heater, small tropical fish like tetras. ALL fish however, need filtration, not just an air pump.
