I dont think so, it is only 4 more fish. keep up on regular water changes and you should be fine.
 
I may drop the neons. Any other additions?

A good alternative to serapes is black or red phantom tetra the look similar but aren't as aggressive
 
I agree with adding 6 corys instead of just 4. They be happier

Serpaes and Mollies can be bullies. Livebearers should be only 1 male to 3 or 4 females. Since Molly females are almost permanently pregnant, that's a lot of fry IMHO. Molly females can get 5".

Make sure there are lots of plants and wood and caves for Cories to hide and get away from Rams as needed.
