Another Stocking Question

I know that this seems to be an over abundant question but I need help deciding what fish to add. My 29 gallon has been set up for nearly 3 years and currently houses a Banded Leporinus (about 2 inches) a red finned shark (about the same size) and one Pl*co (about 5 inches).

What, if any, would be a suitable fish to add as the aquariam seems quite empty. It has pea sized gravel, a bio wheel, a UG bubbler and a whisper 40(maybe, not sure of the GPM).

I want to add something to be compatible. Any ideas? I had an oranda but he went to my mom's kindergarten tank and is now known as "nemo"!

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. On a final note I have really hard water and the tank stays around 74 degrees even without the heater being on.

Sounds like you should go with live bearers for that set up? I have cichlids and they would be agressive. You might be ok with some clown loaches, but buy at least 3.

Clown loaches get too large for 29gals. Get the hint bob.

I recomended some nice gentle fish for the original poster, why dont you recomend something better? I could have told her to put in convicts.

Do you ruin every trend you post it?

Look at some Tetras. A school of 6 would fit.

Thank you for being helpful, with a hint of off topicness.

Sword tails, mollys, guppys.
