Non-fancy feeder guppies are surprisingly hardy...

Egg crate has holes that are too big to stop kuhlis. That plastic needlework canvas from a craft store will work. If it is in the water you would have to clean it regularly so it doesn't get junk clogging the holes. Do you have plenty of hiding opportunities for them?

Female Betta will work. And just as colorful as the males, with shorter fins.

Babies need to eat several times a day - if you have any mature plants / Moss / algae you can move some to the nursery tank and the fry will eat tiny microorganisms from them. Good luck!

Mosquito fish. White clouds. There are also quite a few native fish that would likely work - some quite pretty. Sunfish or flagfish come to mind.

Leave a gallon of water out overnight and check the pH the next day. It sometimes changes after it rests. If so, it is easy enough to have a few 5g buckets to let new water sit out overnight prior to water changes.

Craigslist is a good place for deals on used equipment. Also if you have any local aquarium clubs (or reef clubs), you can find equipment that way also. For the most part, if you find a used tank, there is often a stand involved as well. And typically extras as well. I have yet to have a...

Is the filter in now, with the carbon in it? If not I would add it back at this point. It sounds like only the neons have been lost, correct? Usually newly added neons are pretty sensitive fish. Once they are well established they do pretty well. I'm not sure if it is some form of water...

Mollies are pretty big babies. Finely crushed flake food will work, and you can also offer an algae eater for them to pick at.

Anywhere in that area is fine temp-wise. Ideally in the middle of each species' range.

I would also be betting on ammonia. Sometimes the meds also affect your beneficial bacteria, plus having removed the filter removes a portion too. Give it a good two weeks or more before adding any other fish (or shrimp). Once tetras settle in to a tank, they tend not to really school...

Any of those would work well.

Congrats! Those must be some tiny eggs and tiny fry!

As Arcab said, sometimes having the same type of schooling fish looks best. However they will all get along and school together. The glofish are actually zebra danios with genetically modified color, so the same species. Zebra danios / glofish danios will also school with leopards, long...

You would do best to let everything situate with the fish you have now. Give it few weeks to settle and make sure there isn't anything still going on with the remaining neons. As Arcab said, the neons will be fine with 4 for the time being (eventually you can add a few more again)...

You can usually google an image of the sheet for each brand. Keep an eye on the fish and if you see any breathing hard / distress or are getting more than about 0.5ppm ammonia, do a water change. Read a little about cycling to get an idea of what's going on microscopically. Basically...

My official guess is that the cleaning was maybe too vigorous and took out a bit too much of your beneficial bacteria, so the tank is cycling again. What are the ammonia / nitrite readings? If you have ammonia showing up, do a water change again and/or add an ammonia detoxifier such as Prime...

Got a used 75g tank / stand / canopy :D. My 40B saltwater has had a slow leak at a bottom seam for a few weeks now, just salt creep for the time being but obviously I do not want to wait for it to open up any further. So rather than getting a new 40B, I'm sizing it up a little. I can use all...

Looks like a lot of cover and hidey spaces but also a good amount of open space for swimming (and provide negative space from an aesthetic point of view). Is the large dark crescent thing in front of the holey rocks driftwood, rock, or something else?

Good food choices, and rotating is also good. I think omega one has some of the best ingredient lists of fish food brands. If you still had 4ppm of ammonia the fish would be showing signs, which makes me think you are getting a false positive from the prime. Keep a close eye on their behavior...
