You may want to pick up "neutral regulator" by seachem just because gbr's need 6.5-7.5 and Glass catfish need 6.5-7 aswell as your gold neon tetras need 5-7

Most fish can get use to any ph. As long as it doesn't fluctuate it will be fine. You can try putting some moss (I believe it lowers ph) in your filter. But make sure it is miss and not coral...

I wouldn't. Most fish are fine as long as the ph is stable. Things get messed up when you try and tweak the ph and then you are always fighting to maintain. While I don't have any of those specific fish, I have a variety of tropicals. Angelfish, pleco, tetra, platy, minnow, Molly, betta, dwarf frogs and a puffer. My ph is consistently above 8, usually 8.4.
