Hi Torez,

Is the 20g the standard version or the long version? (Just wondering)

Your list needs a little tweaking but otherwise looks fine. Go with 3 or 5 Oto's as they do better in groups and in odd numbers. I would advise 1 Dwarf Gourami unless you can positively get a male and female. Also, make sure there are planty of hiding spaces.

Add the Neons first, Oto's second and the Gourami last. Have at least a 2 week period between each addition, testing the water to make sure all parameters are good before the next addition.

Best of luck and post pictures - it keeps the fish gods happy

Wow, Torez, that's some font. It makes your post a little hard to read.
The above suggestions sound good.
Have fun adding fish.
