After saving some dough, I got API Master kit(Just came in this afternoon.)

Here are the results:

Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrites: 0 ppm
Nitrates: 5 ppm
Ph: 7.6

I want to get CPDs for my community tank(4 neons(thinking of adding 2 more), 4 LF Zebras, 3 Platys)

I have got Hornwort, Anachris, some Java moss, and a fake amazon sword in my tank.

I am planning to buy 6-8 CPDs(Fell in love with them)

Any suggestions on compatibility?

One point I should state here is this:

I had 2 LF zebras, and I got 2 more recently. After adding some plants, I have noticed that one of the LF Zebras gets territorial, and chases away everyone, from a part of tank(heavily planted).

My platys do not get scared, but the other danios and Neons get scared. How to overcome this problem?

Celestial Pearl Danios are temperate fishes, not tropical. They do best at 72 degrees, and don't live very well over 75.

More Zebra Danios will solve the problem. You'll need at the very least six for peace.

Whoa, this is news to me!! I thought CPDs were Tropical, as they are from Burma, which lies in tropical zone.

Would it be a problem with feeding these shy fishes, with the zebras around? I came across some posts saying so.
