Siamese algae eaters, way hardier and won't die on you. Plus you'll see them more often.
Just a little side note here, you may have aggression issues with the BN Pleco and the CAE. Some, not all, but some BN get very territorial over other bottom dwellers and sucker fish.
I would vote for a nice shoal of otos. Try to shoot for a group of six to eight. Just ask your LFS if they are wild caught or captive bred. Wild caught species tend to have troubles adjusting to aquarium life.
Is your tank cycled properly and matured?
Look wise they would be fine, they really don't stick together like a "school" of fish, but would be more out and about in the tank. On the glass, driftwood, decorations, etc.. they are exciting to watch feed if you ever stick cucumbers or blanched zucchini in your tank for them.Yes it is cycled. Do you think a shoal of Otos would look okay with 18-30 neon tetras?
They should be perfectly happy in your tank as long has you keep your nitrates below 20ppm, and you keep your ph/temp stable where it's at. Just running some numbers here, what filter do you use on your tank?It moves around 78-80. Last I checked the ph was 7.2
