Every neon dotty I have ever tried has been extremely aggressive and had to be removed or kept with very large tankmates. I would expect him to kill off a number of your less aggressive fish. I have had much better success with Orchids or Springers.

Aggressive is a understatement . But you might want to rethink how many fish you have now . I would say your at your limit and I wouldn’t add them in all at once so that your tank builds up the ability to handle their waste .

I have extremely good filtration and most my fish are really small so i have room for a few more small fish.
