ok ima take in 10 angel fish leaving me with 2 for the 29 plus the krib ( might go i dunno yet ) for 20 dollars total for the angel fish for credits. so heres what im planning on getting.
6 neons
6 bloodfin tetras
3 albino corys
some guppys ( feeder kinds )
and if i keep the krib then him to. or maybe trade him for a ram or 2.
no plecs i dont want to deal with poop produceing machines.
and i was thinking if im able to then get some ember tetras..

so what u think? keep get rid of?
 
Is this a new stock list for your 29gal ?

If so i would most def do the rams instead of the kribs and i would bump up on the cory's for a total of 6. of course this is without the angelfish and krib.

If you are going to stick with 2 angelfish and one krib i would say you are stocked at that point for a 29gal maybe a 6 pack of cory's if anything..
 
i may just stick to 1 angel and instead get a ram for the 29 in replace of the krib and skip out on the corys and get like a dozon or 2 of ghost shrimps and some tetras of some sort and maybe 1 male 3 female of some type of small livebearers like maybe platys or sumtin. so anyone tink thats a great stock? and some plants if they got any cheap ones.
 
I would do the cory's, depending on your angel's size the ghost shrimp would be a snack for the angel, cory's by far will be a better scavenger for your tank.

Endlers livebearers are a good source and stay fairly small but again if your angel has some size it may see them as dinner.

A good tetra to go with your angelfish would be the serpae tetra or the columbian tetra total 6 should be adequate
 
i think i have a keeper angel fish :) but my krib is also looking great and has great colors so i may be keeping him. so 1 angel 1 krib and a school of some type of tetra and maybe 4 corydorras of some sort? how does that sound? and of course plants if i can afford them tommorrow if i go
 
Yep that sounds great buddy, so what is your lighting levels at, if they are normal or factory light and considered to be on the low level side you could do an low light plant package.

Java ferns, java moss, anubias, cryptocoryne wendtii, red ludwigia and even amazon swords also some echino sp. should do nicely in your setup, vals could work as well, if you think dwarf sagittaria could work for you i have tons of it i could send you some for free along with some java fern pieces.
