Gourami's and tetra neons?

Does anyone know if a blue dwarf gourami would get on with some neon tetras? the guy at my local pet shop who is very helpful told me hes had loads of people have trouble with gourami's being a bit bullying (ie they try to eat the other fish) towards their other fish. So he told me to get some red honey gourami's instead... thing is I have had my heart set on a blue dwarf gourami for AAAAAGES and I dont want to get it if it eats my neons up ... anyway that i can at least help them get along ?? At the moment I have 5 neon tetras. They are doing well and I was thinking maybe upping it to a 10 fish shoal to deter the gourami from bullying? but I wasn't sure if different tetras would shoal together or not ... so do i go for another 5 neon tets or just different tets to give the tank a bit of variation? aaaargh I feel like my head is gonna explode with all these questions . Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Oh and my tank is 35 litres (10 UK gallon i think )
