Water Requirements Compatibility

[cer]

Would these fishes water requirements be compatible?
Ghost Shrimp, Red Cherry Shrimp, Skunk Corycat, German Gold Ram, Hi Fin Platy, Red Velvet Swordtail, Neon Tetra, Zebra Nerite Snail, and Diamond Tetra?

Whats the size of the tank? Only thing I can see is shrimp getting picked on my the ram possibly, I think anyway.

The "ideal" parameters may not all be the same, but I think there is common ground between the fish that everyone will be happy with. IMO it's not as important to have perfect water, so long as it's clean and consistant - fish will adapt. If you wanted to breed fish, then those ideal parameters are more important because they are what trigger the spawn. The snail I don't know about.

The tank is 29 gallons. The snails are highly adaptable so I am not worried about them.

water isnt the problem, the platys swords and tetras may have your shrimp for dinner

I have lots of hiding places for the shrimp and the tank is densely planted.

The nerites are actually gonna need a high ph, and calcium in the water or in their diet to maintain shell health.

Other than that the only potential problem i see is the cherry shrimp getting eaten but it depends on how many hiding spaces are in the tank of course

So no snails. That is fine with me.

Nah you can do snails you just need a ph of 7+ and calcium. Crushed coral will take care of it for you, you can also grind up calcium supplement powder into its food, works wonders.

Recently, Ive been reading about fw shrimp needing similar requirements, especially the ph of 7+ so IMO you could take care of it and make sure both do well. Not a big adjustment
