10 neon tetrasYep, can take a while to do a cycle.
I am in middle of doing a Fishless cycling a tank myself but thing is, I enjoy cycling tanks from scratch, call me weird if you like but find it enjoyable!
What else are you planning to add to the tank?
Seems reasonable, but you're gonna want to add the pleco last, and maybe halve the tetra number to 5, as plecos make a lot of waste.10 neon tetras

The loach needs friends and a longer tank, I reccomend you return it as this tank is too small and it does better with others of its species, and you won't be able to keep any more in there.Current shot of my aquanano 60

Also running a extra external filter to keep things extra clean
Unfortunately, that 'happy' is your own hopeful perception.All levels holding steady and everyone is active eating well and happy
All an extra filter will do is remove any material waste. It won't really affect your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. Your plethora of plastic plants and ornaments will, along with the substrate, provide surfaces for the beneficial bacteria to grow on, but otherwise, these won't really help manage your toxic nitrogen waste products as well as live plants, nor will they provide much by way of security. Whilst the fish will be able to hide behind them, their plastic nature will prevent safe passage through them.Also running a extra external filter to keep things extra clean
There's nothing 'pedantic' when it comes to fish welfare and if arrogance is how you perceive being told something you didn't know, then so be it.Nothing like friendly constructive criticism...
Not pedantic and arrogant at all
