Stocking advice needed

I have a 38 gallon aquarium and wondered if 3 marble angelfish and 6 GloFish tetras (I know, but I like them) would be overstocking it? And will both these fish be ok with soft acidic water: 6.2 ph...6.5 if I add api ph. Gh is 15-30 ppm if I use a Wonder Shell, and almost 0Gh without one. Kh is 40-80ppm thanks to the api ph adjuster. 

Thanks for any input

With your tank size, those fish are okay. Don't chase pH too much. Add crushed coral to your substrate to maintain pH drops. I really don't recommend pH and kH adjusters from API. Instead if you have really really soft water, you can use seachem equilibrium to harden water based on the species you have. Wonder shells are great too but they are costly I feel.
