I have a 75 gallon freshwater fish tank.
I plan on keeping
5-6 zebra danios
2-3 German blue rams
2-3 ghost shrimp
1 clown loach
1 (mid sized catfish) not sure which one yet
Do these fish work well together?

what should i add to my freshwater tropical fish tank?
right now i have 1 red tailed black shark, and 5 red serpae tetras
its a 30 gallon fish tank which used to have a bichir in it but he recently passed due to age after several years, ive been curious as to what i can add if any to the current set up i have now
just a note, i dont like corys theyre dreadfully boring lol
and i dont like plecos, i grow out a tank wall to wall with green algae and the damn thing doesnt eat any of it and 2 days later i find it all skinny and dieing so i went to the store and returned it because APPARENTLY my algae wasnt good enough for it.
ive been in the hobby for several years now and have had a vast assortment of freshwater fish most of which i gave away to friends who wanted to get into the hobby
im just looking for ideas just no corys or plecos (:
(i also have a 5 gallon with a male betta in it and was told he could go well with a ghost shrimp or 2 so i bought 2 of them and 1 of them hadnt even hit the sand of the tank yet and was already getting eaten so i saved the other and fed it to the red tail in the big tank. if he can have a companion id love an idea)
its a freshwater fish tank incase i didnt mention that? idk
and the fish currently in the tank are semi aggressive, i forgot to mention that so fish like fancy guppies with long tails or anything like that wont work
What is the best way to feed my fish…?
frozen brine shrimp. It’s for my saltwater fish. For my freshwater I take a bowl of their tank water and melt the cube down and pour it in. I wasn’t sure if it is the same for saltwater or not.
I feed them flakes and pellets as well I just had some left over from rasing guppy fry and thought that they might like a treat.

Marine Ich curing with increased water temperature?
When i had my freshwater aquarium, i had success curing ich by increasing my water temp to 30 degrees Celsius. i have now changed to marine, and my clownfish has marine ich. my tank has no corals. just fish and shrimps.
MY question is will i be able to use the same method- i don’t really want to add any chemicals to my tank, and the readily available treatments contain some form of copper E.g malachite green which are toxic to invertebrates. or are there any more treatments that are “chemical free”?

What’s the fastest way to cycle an aquarium?
I’m thinking about buying 3 dwarf puffers; 2 females and 1 male according to the gender limit. They’re freshwater fish, and I’m going to have them in a 5 gallon tank with fake plants and maybe 2 amano shrimps to eat/clean up leftover food and stuff on the bottom of the tank. I really need to know the fastest way to cycle a 5 gallon aquarium, and cheap too. (I’m an impatient person and I’d really like to experience my first time with raising fish during my spring break.) I really need someone to go over the process with me thoroughly, because the way people explain it over the internet makes it seem that they expect me to be a professional at it, so they use this little science words like PH 5.0 or something blah blah blah. Sorry if I seem like an idiot, but I’m a 100% first-timer at raising my own fish, so any extra beginners tips would be highly appreciated! 
Oh and btw, what should I put at the bottom of the tank? Gravel? Sand? Nothing?
