As far as tank mates go, when it comes down to just one 3 Spot Gourami what are my options?

You may be able to get away with neons in reasonably neutral maybe slightly hard tap water, they're a bit iffy when it comes to parameters sometimes. Most community fish will work with 3 spots depending on gender and shoal size
 
Depends, if its a female it'll be very shy and skittish when alone, hopefully, won't withdraw. If a male it would chase everything in the tank.
Maybe just the three spot and a bn pleco then? The two gourami stick to each other and the loach follows them around like a puppy dog. I guess being in a 10 gallon tank for who knows how long got them used to one another.

Then I can keep the neons in there. Good. I hate shuffling fish around. Stresses both me and the fish.

In a 29g I would assume they get a bit more territorial. My female in a temporary setup is in along with a horde of BN. She only chases them when they're on the glass lol.
 
I found a store in the next city over willing to rehome the two gourami and the yoyo loach. It is a small shop, and they seem to know what they are doing. I have faith the fish are in good hands.
Oh good! I'm glad you found someone you trust :)

It took some time. Several people contacted me about the fish, but most of them had tanks that are too small. The one person with a larger tank didn't respond when I asked what a good time for them to take the fish was.
