do they mix well? Neons.zebra danios.mollies.dwarf gourami

Happy to report I've picked up a 26 gallon bowfront aquarium today as an upgrade from my current 5 gallon. Want to stock right this time so would like some opinions on the best community fish to keep together.

Currently have:
5 neon tetras (had 6 but one died)
2 baby dalmation mollies (boy and girl)
I know this is overstocked for the 5G :) and I've heard neons and mollies aren't best tankmates although I've not had any problems

Wish list:
Keep what I've got plus....
1-2 more female mollies to occupy the male
6 zebra danios
maybe even a dwarf gourami

Can this work? If not what fish pairings COULD work?

Id really like to keep the mollies (so much personality!) and am open to returning the Neons if needed... They are nice to watch but very fickle and skittish when I get near. Thanks, i really appreciate the help!
