I'd skip the neons. Tend to be a little tempermental but do really well in large groups as they are a schooling fish.
Cory cats stay at the bottom and again are a schooling fish. Need 3 - 7 to make them feel comfortable.
Mollies tend to get ick ( a fisk sickness) a lot and get kind of big but are colourful. Along with platties. They also breed as easy as guppies.
Danios are also a good choice. A little more bland than the mollies, platties and guppies but do well in smaller tanks.
For the amount of fish it depends on the size of fish and the bio load. I currently keep dozens of guppies in a simple 20 gallon tank. If the tank had live plants I could probably keep another dozen or so easily.
For platties, guppies and smaller danios you could do half a dozen or so. For mollies and larger danios, probably a few less.
You will start with only a couple though no matter what so you can cycle the tank.
