If your tank is under 10 gallons I'd say you're overstocked. If it's 10 gallons you're perfect, and a nice and balanced selection too. If it's closer to 20 gallons you have some room to add more of your current schoolers. Neon tetra's can live for several years.

You have a very good combination for a 20 Gallon or larger tank. You could even up the size of your shoal of Neon Tetras to 8 or 10 if you want. With Neons, the more the merrier.

The neons may be problematic if your water is hard. Have you tested your KH, and pH. Neons need slightly acidic soft water. If your water is a bit hard, and/or basic consider danios, and live bearers (guppy/molly/platy/swordtail). Even in the case your water is soft I'd start with the cory cats, then gourami.

The neons are the weakest part. They need to be in a larger school than six. Some will die, as neons aren't very hardy.
There are many other tetras much more hardy and just as attractive. I wouldn't consider going with a tank smaller than 20 gallons.

Seems good, but i would get at least a 20 gallon tank.
Good Luck

Dependent on the size of the tank that would work well.
