Actually, with the drop-off rate of neons from shops being quite high, relatively speaking, it may be best to start with 50 to allow for problems. I would expect them with some fish, like neons, nowadays.
I actually prefer odd numbers ::thumb::
Anything above 10 makes counting difficult for some Image

I'll keep searching the internet for other stock such as Peruvian tetra (Hyphessobrycon peruvianus).
Guessing Bleeding Hearts may be a bit too big for you?
