help identify good tank mates!!!!

hey, i have a 10 gallon tank with soon to be 3 guppies (2 girls, one boy) and 2 apple snails. i want to bring in more fish, but im aware that my tank is small. i dont want to overstock or put uncompatible fish together.

i want to look into neon tetras and zebrafish. do these both work with guppies? how many of each could i have without overcrowding the tank? what are ideal water conditions for these fish?

right now, the temperature is around 80 and i need to test the water quality for other stuff but around how high should the pH be? i need it about 7.0 at LEAST because i have snails. what do you guys suggest?

Most fish will adjust to your pH. I'm not sure about snails though.
Neons and danios do best in schools of 6, however, with the guppies, you don't have room for a school.
How about a few pygmy cories? 3 would fit nicely.
