my only issue with the above is that Ram cichlids, to do well, have some pretty demanding water requirements. they like high temps (mid-to-high 80s), minimal nitrates, and soft water . . . would probably be compatible with the neons (might try to eat them, I suppose), but it does mean a little more work on your part
also, I don't know that a Ram cichlid would do well on it's own . . . they strike me as a fish that does best in pairs . . .

no worries, and soft water is definite + . . . I use R/O water in my Ram tank, and it seems to make a world of difference from my previous experiences with Rams . . .
it's just a personal impression I have, that Rams do better in pairs than solo . . .
in a 12G, I'd rather keep a single Ram than a pair of females, and certainly not a pair of males . . .
so, if "no babies" is the rule, then I'd go with a single male . . . just don't know if you'll bring out the full color of the male w/o a female to show-off for
