In short, yes. I would nix one school, bump the other up to 8 or so, and toss in a few kuhli loaches, amano shrimp, or dwarf cories for cleanup.
In a larger tank 2 schools would be doable. In a small tank, not really.But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I will be unique in all the world..... You become responsible, forever,for what you have tamed.

Thanks. Looks like I will get at least 4 more neon tetras and that's all.

You could always save money for another tank for glow lights

I agree, a larger single school will look better...but it's your tank.
