Any community fish that will not be big enough to eat them. This includes:
Livebearers (mollies, platies, endlers, guppies, swordtails)
Most other tetras (there are 100s of tetras; the only ones you want to avoid would be Black Skirt Tetras, Buenos Aires Tetras - any nippy tetras).
Placid barbs (cherry barbs, odessa barbs)
Most community cichlids like apistos, kribensis, rams
Most gouramis (the except would be the gold gouramis - they can be mean SOBs)
Most bottom feeders like plecos, corydoras, oto cats, siamese algae eaters (the exception would be eels, catfish, rope fish - anything big enough to eat them)
Glass catfish
Danios
Rasboras

All of the answers that suggest live bearers (Guppys,Platys Mollies) ignore the fact that these fish require different water parameters than your,soft water,low pH loving Neons. A pair of Dwarf cichlids, such as cacatuides or Ramirezii might make good tank mates. Also some of the smaller Amazon Pencil fish,or Some of the Hatchet fish,(Marbled might be the best choice) and these fish use the upper part of the water column. All of them would benefit from some floating plants. The Pencil fish and the Hatchet fishes are jumpers so a good cover is important. Also the Hatchets are insect eaters and may need a different food than the Neons. Hope this is some help.----PeeTee

the only element you may put in a a million gallon tank is a snail. bettas prefer a minimum of five gallons with a clear out and heater. tetras prefer a minimum of a 10 gallon tank with a clear out and heater and communities of a minimum of five-6. the smallest cat fish you may get is a cory cat and that they prefer communities of five-6 and prefer a minimum of a 10 gallon tank, 20 gallon would be ultimate, filtered and heated. Undergravel filters are not the final interior the worldwide the two, i'd circulate with a carry on lower back or canister clear out. The container lies simply by fact they prefer you to purchase it and in the event that they record lots of fish which could circulate in it then it would desire to have a extra acceptable risk of merchandising.

Other small tetra fish can be kept with neons;but you should always have at least 6 of each as they are schooling fish. Small catfish,loaches,whiteclouds,zebrafish,betta(s),hatchetfish,glass catfish.Any fish that is not aggressive,that does not grow big that does not eat smaller fish. Make sure to have a lot of plants,live,and/or plastic.

All fish become a part of the menu if smaller . With proper vegitation planted a lot of hideing places in your community tank, you can add them with sword tails , plattys, guppys, black mollies, kissing fish, etc. I hope this helps you out.

Sword tails , plattys, guppys, black mollies and other tetras. Don't add angelfish or other large fish because they will just eat them.
