Can I pit these fish in a 29 gallon aquarium?

I'm terrible with color scales but it's the regular ph test still showing high? If ph was really 7.4 to 7.6 it should read that on the regular test. Its very weird that the regular test is showing 8+ and the high range test is showing mid 7s
Basically the water reads 7.4 before I put it in the tank. But once I put it in the tank it gets a really weird pink color
I'm probably going to go ahead and get the neons. Because I've talked to a couple local fishkeepers, and they have been taking care of neons with no problem with the local 7.8 to 8.0 ph
One of the people I talked to owns a lfs and they have taken care of happy and healthy neons with no problems at all. And from the research I've done, most of the sources I've seen say Honey Gouramis specifically can thrive on a wide range of pH. And 8.0 will be perfectly fine for them.
But what do you guys think? I'm I rushing into this to fast? I hear that rummy nose (probably spelled that wrong) do ok in higher pH. Would that be a better option?
Like I said in my previous post, my tank is fully cycled and I now have 3 platys and a bristlenose. And I love them! They will swim around the tank in a school

Tbh I don’t think there is going to be a problem. As mentioned earlier, the pH issues generally have a stronger effect on long lived fish as opposed to fish like tetras.
Ok, I think I'll go for it. I'll obviously acclimate them, and I won't get anything like rams or cardinals, which are sensitive to high pH
Could I use a filter cartridge from my established goldfish tank to instant cycle a betta tank?
