I would turn the heat up to 85.
Get some caves or create other stone or slate hiding places.
The other fish are no problem for a short period, just make sure the zebs get enough food.
I would not try to grow them out in such a big aquarium as you ordered.
They might have a problem finding food, or you have to overfeed and this comes with waterqualityproblems.
Try to set up a 60x30x30 for those 4 to grow them out.
This way you get a better control over feeding and is easier to clean leftovers.

Hi
No tank mates, especially those that live on the bottom.
No need for a PH of 6.4.
Also require some current.
There is no definative way to keep this fish, we all have our own ideas, and pressing the search button will give you a lot of ideas.
