A dwarf gourami could eat nearly full grown male endlers & could certainly eat fry.
Adult neons could eat the fry.
Endler adults are too small for your other tank if that is what you are asking but they can go in with neons as soon as their tails are bigger than the gape of the neons.
Where are you getting the Endlers? - I know of some grown on ones available in Shropshire.

sorry i should have explained further, i'm such a lazy typer , i am going to be putting the endlers into a small isolated tank, if i get them, until they are large enough. so keep them on thier own until their tails are bigger than the mouths of the neons... right, cool thanks for that. also will the fry be ok in a filtered tank, or should i have them in a small goldfish bowl...? thanks in advance...

I wouldn't chance endlers with the gouramis or Tetras The males really only reach 1" and will very likely get nipping from tank mates. Also, neons and endlers are both very brightly small fish - I think your tank would have a much nicer effect with only the neons. You'd certaily also never see any Endler fry in that tank if you decided to take the chance.
