don't get algae eaters, they will get too big and too agressive for your tank. don't get neons in a new tank because chances are they will die.

my uncle had algeu eaters wit small fish and he had no problems

i think anwyte is thinking of the CAE which is a chinese algae eater which do get big and aggressive where as you stated SAE which is much friendlier don't eat all your fish and is suitible for the others you stated

As anwyte also stated neons really do not do well in a tank less than 6 months mature

From what I've read, Siamese algae eaters are fine; The problem is that they look very similar to chinese algae eaters and flying foxes and another species or two, all of which get very aggressive - They are often confused in shops as well. You'd been to be very careful to make sure you get the right species. As for whether you're overstocked or not, no idea. Too new for that one
