Neon tetra
Name: Paracheirodon innesi
Size 4 cm pH6.8 GH 8 Temp 24°C
Origin: Peru

Balloon Mollies
Tank Conditions: 68-82°F; pH 7.0-7.8; dH 10-25

Guppies
Guppies are prolific breeders. Guppies like alkaline water which means the pH level should be around 6.8. We recommend doing 1/3 water changes at least once per week. Guppies can be dirty fish and with such a small tank to start out with, it is recommended to do frequent water changes to keep good water quality. Water temperature for guppies should be constant to prevent stress. The water should be kept around 78 degrees so your fish will be more active. The colder the water, the less active the fish.

Blue Shrimp
Temperature:
wide range, but best kept at 70°F-80°F
Water Parameters:
Can live under conditions that are soft and slightly acidic (ph 6.6-7.0) to very hard and alkaline (ph 7.0-8.4 and above). Very adaptable shrimp. Is most productive and does best in soft to medium hard water with a ph in the alkaline range. Might not reproduce at all in water that is too acidic.


Tiger Snails

Tiger snails prefer warm conditions of 25-30°C with a rH of 80-95%. More information to follow. Tigers are not the easiest species to keep and this may be due to the very steady conditions they are used to in the wild. Ghana/Cameroon have a practically constant 12/12 photoperiod that only extends to 13/11 for about three months. The temperature difference between night and day is only 2-4°C.

Otocinclus
21- 26 degrees c
fairly soft water acidic to neutral (PH 5.5 to 7.5)

temp is the important thing. It should be about 76F anywhere from about 75F to 80F will be ok the PH should be around 7 but fish can easily adapt to PH changes with no problem as long as the PH is not way off Like a PH of 9 or 5.

Neons,---Soft,acid water.---- Mollies,hard slightly salty water with a high pH(7.5 to 8.3)------ Guppies about the same, with less salt.------Otoes,neutral with medium hardness.The snails and shrimp would probably appreciate some calcium in their water,but I don't know that for sure. ---------PeeTee ---Temps should be in the low to mid 70's.

Honsestly molly, and neons aren't very compatible. Molly like hard water basic water, and neons like soft acidic water. I'd test your water for pH, and hardness. If it's hard, and basic don't get neons. If it's soft and acidic don't get mollies. Everything else will be fine in a PH of 6.5-7.5.

well temp about 78-82, then dont mess wiht the ph a stable ph is better then a ph that swings
