Yes, that is overload. Almost all fish follow the 10 gallon rule (1 fish per 10 gallons). You could probably fit two fish in you tank.

I wouldnt say overload, I and many others use the 3 to 5 gallon per inch of fish. I say you will be fine with that.
The neon gobys dont get very big, the biggest fish you wil have are the two percs.
