Ive kept gouramis (if thats how its spelt) with my neons and guppies, but it depends on each individual, some gouramis will peacefully get along while others may attack the guppies.
Something great to keep is a tropical dwarf frog, theyre great to watch!

First of all, if these fish will be going into a 10 gallon you might want to rethink some things. Danios like to school with other fish and that requires 6-8 minimum. Neon Tetras also like to school, only they are fairly sensitive when it comes to their water quality. You couldn't keep 8 danios, 8 neons, and a few guppies in this tank. It just wouldn't work out. The fish could end up fighting with each other, as schooling fish get picky when it comes to other fish mixed with them in a small tank.
Try ONE school of like 6 danios, and then some other livebearers. Instead of guppies, might I recommend a pair of Pineapple Swordtails? Then to finish off the bottom of the tank, get a few (3-4) corydora catfish. The tank would be fully stocked at this point, and you'd have some nice fish in that tank! :D
