Hi blue,
doesn't sound overcrowded to me, just research ya fish before buying them , different water parameters for different fish so if you want a happy tank just make sure you have the right fish.
also if you want a full looking tank, check where in the water column they swim ie top of tank middle or bottom, a good selection will make your tank look fuller than it really is.
