The best approach is to never put anything in your tank unless you are confident that it will survive, if not thrive. Certainally, don't put any fish in that you plan to take out later or that aren't on your "fish list".
Take your time.

I don't plan on putting fish in I am going to take out... unless I buy a new house that can hold a bigger tank...
