The link is also good for each species' water hardness requirements, usually cited in ppm (CaCO3) or dh (German degrees hardness). Check CaCO3 and German degrees hardness for your postcode to see which of the species are suitable, as well as the temperature and tank size required for each.

It sounds like you're planning on a silent/planted cycle with fish-in, rather than the more reliable and easier fishless cycle https://www.fishkeeping.co.uk/articles ... hless-cycling-article.htm
Silent/planted cycle with fish-in, from what I understand, needs the tank to be absolutely rammed full of plants like a jungle (in which case you'd probably never be able to find/see the fish), and also needs the fish to be added almost one at a time (which wouldn't work well if you went for a shoal of fish eg of endlers as they'd be constantly establishing/re-establishing their hierarchy every time a new one is added). If, however, you decide not to follow the fishless cycle method above, then it would be definitely worth having this to hand https://www.fishkeeping.co.uk/articles ... ammonia-nitrite-spike.htm for if/when you encounter problems.
