Hello, recently i just bought an Eclipse 6 aquarium system. Im wonder if the tank can provide enough space for six neon tetras.

Absolutely. If you're a good fishkeeper who does regular water changes you can even add a trio of corydora catfish with them (though this 'won't work' if you're a simple counter of inches per gallon)
Plants are the natural decoration to use in a neon tank.

Rule of thumb ( at least from 8 years ago), was 1 inch of fish for 1 gallon so you will be fine.
Given they are neons, I'd say you can go higher. Neons are pretty hardy fishes. Just make sure you do monitor your ammonia and nitrates.

Oh sure. You even have enough room for few rocks so they don't swim around giving each othe the evil eye like mine did.
Eventually there was one tetra left. The last one just swims around - he tried to give the Silver Barbs the evil eye and they ganged up and chased him right back - he never did it again.
Tank wars. Don't get me started on the P.O.'d mollie my friend gave me who has decided to sit and sulk under the biggest rock.

Yes - 1 fish per gallon.
