I need help on my fish tank community.?

To start with my tank is a 10 gallon. I am getting a filter and a heater. This is my first aquarium so I do not know much about fish or fish care.

I would like to know if these fish can be keep together in a 10 gallon tank.
List of fish:
-1 white or red half moon Betta
-1 or 2 Albino Cory Catfish
-6 Neon Tetra
-2 or 3 Ghost Shrimp
-3 Turquoise Guppies
-3 Tequila Sunrise Delta Guppies

Will all of these fish live okay together? Is there to many fish? Also can they all eat the same food? And what kind of food do they eat? What kind of plant and decor should I need? Also is my filter and heater okay? I’m not looking to have baby fish so should I get all males or all females?

Freshwater aquatic pets other than fish?

I want something creative, and interesting other than fish. It should be aquatic, or semi. It should not be difficult to take care of. Things like crabs, Axolotl, eels, starfish, shrimp, snakes, snails, frogs, turtles, etc. Just nothing I just named. Don’t say anything if you don’t have an honest answer. It will go in a 55 gallon long tank.

2Pt. Question>What is the Best way to take care of oscar fish? why is he losing color?

I recently bought an oscar and have been taking care of him the best I can but I’m not sure of the best environment or foods to feed him. Right now im feeding him bine shrimp. What else can I give him> Hes pretty slow and I have other faster fish in the tank with him. Also, my oscar is going pale and losing his color. I feed him and the other fish in the fish tank Omega One protein formula but He is too slow and the other fish eat it before him. Is he not getting enough protein? PLEASE HELP>I’m really new at taking care of fish of any kind so anything and ever bit of help is much apreciated =-)

Doesnt this seem expensive for a fish?

i won a betta fish at the carnival and i was researching the fish and the care of them, right now he is in a plastic fish bowl, and tomorrow i was going to petsmart to get a new tank and plants and food, i was on the petsmart website and saw that brine shrimp is like 15 dollars!! I am NOT spending that much money on fish food, my freshwater fish have been fine eating fish flakes there entire life, including the guppies that i bought prego and now they are all breeding with each other which im working on seperating them, but anyway cant betta fish eat fish flakes?
I need a really good reason to buy the 15 dollar fish food for them

Raising Freshwater snails and Ghost Shrimp?

Ok I’m planing on attempting to raise crayfish. I’m wanting to first get my live food reproducing and multiplying. I have a 10 gal tank set up to put the ghost shrimp, guppies and snails in. Problem is I don’t know what freshwater snails are the easiest to take care of and to mass produce easy. I plan to put my water temp between 75f-80f so that the shrimp will be very active. Anyone that can give me advice about the snails and or Ghost shrimp please let me know.
