Just for future reference, could a single male dwarf gourami live in a 30L tank with 6 neon tetras?

you could put one or the other in there. I think the tetras would get a bit nippy with the gourami in such a small tank.

Okily dokily....is it possible to have one male honey gourami? Are they smaller than dwarf gouramis?

If I remember correctly they're about the same size, but don't take my word on that as I've never kept one. You could keep a dwarf gourami and maybe 3 oto cats in there and be a happy tank. A gourami and 6 neons would be a bit overstocked.

I have two honey gouramis, and my very reliable fish store told me they only get to 2 inches.

My Honey dwarf is much bigger than 2 inches. 3-4 would be closer in my guess.

It seems that you don't have the true honey dwarf, you likely have a thick-lipped gourami (C. labiosa) they can get to 4 inches, whereas true honey dwarfs only get to 1.5-2"

Yeh, i think Gilbert is right, honey gouramis shouldn't be over 2 inches. My tropical fish book that i bought to help to set up the tank says they should never grow any bigger than that.
