CRS tank setup - things we should not do

[chiller]

Hi Guys,
I would like to seek CRS hobbyist to share with us, the newbies, what are the things we should not do when keeping CRS. Any contribution is very much appreciated. Let me start first.

Things we should not do.
1. Buying and putting CRS into a tank that is not fully cycled.
2. Adding newly purchased CRS into a tank without adjusting them to the PH and Temperature of the tank.
3. Using water directly from tap without any water conditioner.
4. Inlet of filter left uncovered.
5. Adding uncompatible companions e.g. Goldfish.
6. Totally bare tank. No moss or hidding place.

Anymore? Thanks.
