I have an Eclipse 12 from Marineland. I would like to stock the tank with
a
Male Betta and a pair of Dwarf Gouramis. Will they get along? Is this too
small a tank for this combination? Could I add a small school of Tetras or
something to the combo?

If you put a male betta with a dwarf gourami, I'll place my bet on the
gourami. I don't think one or the other would survive that encounter very
long. I would guess that the betta would keep harrassing the gourami until
the gourami kicks his butt.

As for tetras, you should be able to place most tetras with a male betta. A
guy at work had a male betta and 6 cardinal tetras in his desk-top eclipse.
They all got along.

Also can you have two male dwarf gouramis together in the same tank?

I've done it before in a 40G tank. It was heavily planted and had lots of
hiding spaces. The dominant gourami harrassed the other male.
