I have 4 sparkling pygmy gouramis in a 100l tank with 9 neon tetras.

I'm worried that I may have 4 males, because they seem to almost constantly chase each other whenever they come into contact. One also chases the neons whenever he gets a chance. Do you think I should take them back?
 
yes, take 2 out, and buy like 4 females ratio 1:2 (1 being the male)
 
If it's just chasing along the lines of "hey, go away" as opposed to "hey, I'm going to get you and kill you", then it may not be that big a deal. My zebra danios chase each other all the time, and I've never seen it become out-of-control aggression.

Maybe try adding some plants and driftwood so each of the gouramis can claim a little personal area...?
