I'm thinking about adding a school of Neons to my tank. I've got a 72 gallon bowfront tank with the following:
3 Tri-color Sharks
3 Clown Loaches
2 Placos
4 Golden Gouramis
Will the neons be OK or do I need to worry about the Gourami's attacking them?
The clown loaches are probably not going to be a problem. The plecos are not going to be a problem. The gouramis could be a problem once they reach full size. Your probably going to have a problem with the tri-color sharks. They can get to be a foot long and can be kind of hyper. Honestly, you've got kind of an asian theme going there. You might want to consider a school of danios or barbs.
Last time I had neons they got freaked out way to easily, and all they did was hide. I had them with some rainbow fish. Cardinals arn't much better. There really arn't that many tetras that arn't very shy and that could keep up with the tank mates you have selected.
