What are you planning on doing with your current fish?

dorkfish has a good point, don't throw them in a lake or something. Ask your pet store if they will take them. As for idea's, if you want to do brackish I would say puffers(brackish puffers) are a nice small fish for a 29. If you want to do a freshwater community tank you could do platies, mollies, small barbs, etc and some cory. cats.
http://www.liveaquaria.com is a good place to look at some fish and get a little info on them. Gives you a rough idea of what the fish need and who will get along with who.

You could put in a small school of Orange Chromides and Bumblebee gobies and maybe if you want you could throw in 1 or 2 Freshwater Flounders. Freshwater Flounders are very picky eaters and will only eat worm, but are very fun to watch scuttle around the bottom and sides of your tank. Even though they are usually referred to as "Freshwater" they are Brackish.

do u like my theme? Also on the back of the wallpaper is a really cool dessert theme. Which could be cool brackish. You would have to get different furniture though. I think I'll redo mine as a dessert theme when I get tired of this one. I am sure whatever you do will be great just be sure to post a pic when you are done! ;)
As far as fish balloon bellied mollies, guppies, and platies are a great idea. Swordtails have a bad rep. Guppies are the most colorful and breed like crazy. Mollies are kinda big to put with guppies but balloon bellied mollies are great with guppies. :)

I am very confused about your situation magafish18. If you don't have any fish anymore, why wouldn't you redo it?
foxyfish - I like the idea of your theme, it'd be really cool with a eel or something, ya know. Like the eel would be the "dragon" or something.

eel would probably be too powerful and knock the columns down though :p:

Not suggesting one in your tank, just saying with that theme if someone did it.
You could feed it crayfish and it'd be like a monster battle for the little greek village, lol.
