Ive got a 29 gal tank with the following-
-3 Red Swordtails
-1 Red Tailed Shark
-1 Pictus Cat
I use to have 4 golden danios and 2 zebra danios but i took them back to the pet store because they stayed around the top too much and were a little bland in the tank.
Just any suggestions as to what to add and also i am posting a picture of my tank bellow if anyone has any suggestions as to autoscaping or anything of the sort. Thanks.

I would suggest getting some peaceful tetras. I like white and black skirt tetras. Also, get some cories! Good luck with the tank :) (Double check that the shark isn't too aggressive for the other fish you already have and the ones you wish to add to the tank).
Cheers,

Lots of possibilities! Rasboras, rummy nose, neons would look good too! Blue tetras and bleeding hearts are cool. Maybe some taller plants in the back? I think it looks good!

first off, watch out for the RTS, most are pretty aggresive.
and your pictus cat will eat anything it could fit into its mouth, so i'd say stay away from any small fish like neons

RTS have a bad rap. They can be nippy and aggressive, but mostly with their own kind.

Some cories would look cool in there. Also, you could add some schoolers. I think some black neon tetras would look cool in there.

dont put corydoras with a pictus and RTBS. they will get bullied.
go for some tougher fish like black skirts or searpe tetras.

livebearers are definately the easiest to breed!
