This video is worse than useless! Do not just add a bunch of fish after two days! An aquarium should be properly cycled with ammonia or a few hardy fish and then tested first. Proper cycling can take weeks. Plants should be washed before adding to the aquarium to avoid parasite and snail infestations. Planted tanks should not have surface agitation (it out gasses CO2). Plants need the right kind of lighting. I could go on and on. Listen to books or hobbyists, never listen to fish store people.

I wouldn't wait 2 days before adding fish. I'd add a couple of golfish after about 2 weeks to produce some ammonia. Then when after six weeks I'd put the actual fish I want in there. They could've mentioned something about cycling and water changes which are both needed for a healthy aquarium.
