So, my 29gal will soon be done cycling, and I'm pondering over what else to add.

My pH is pretty steady at 7.5-7.6.
No live plants, although perhaps in the future.
My current inhabitants are:
3 swordtails
2 mollies
2 platies
2 angels
I plan to add 1-2 ADF's and a few ramshorn snails.

Would you add anything else, and if so, what do you think would be best?
Would I be overstocked if I add a school of tetra or rasbora, and some type of bottom feeder? (And which bottom feeder would you suggest?)
 
You have a nice collection there. Guppies would be a natural fit w/ platies and swordtails, but certainly a schooling fish would look great too and would add that dynamic to ur tank.

B/c of the angels I would go with rasboras or med to large tetras (the angels may like anything neon-sized a bit too much especially before they mature)!

As for bottom dwellers I have always liked Corys! ;) But for bottom feeders (i.e. algae eaters) Otos (although they tend attach more to the side of the tank) would rank right up there as well. For a true bottom feeder one could always consider siamese algae eaters or a small pleco like a bristlenose

Peace --

EDIT: I always thought swordtails were platies (var.). Sorry 'bout that.

i wouldnt add any more fish. swordtails and mollies will get to 4 inches, and platies will get to two. all three are pretty chunky fish. if anything, you should be taking out fish- two six inch angels will take up alot of the bioload. the platies can stay, but depending on your male/female ratio of the swarods and mollies, the males may become nippy with the angels
