Answer
Hi Arjun,
Thank you for your questions. The temperature should be in the high 70s fahrenheit. If you live in a warm climate with warm nights, you don't need a heater in the summer.
As to the compatibililty of fish. It depends. If you have an old timer in the tank he might attack any fish you try to add. If they grow up together, any fish might get along. If you get a troublemaker, try to find somewhere else for him to live.
The cloudiness in your tank is probably due to over feeding. Put them on a diet! Here is my page for wholistic tank care:
