well since my tank took 3 months to cycle i have had some time to think about how i want to stock it, tell me how this sounds and if it will work. The tank is a 29 gallon.

1 Bushy Nose Pleco
2 Dwarf Gourami
3 False Julli Cory
4 Zebra Danios (already in tank)
2 Golden Danios (already in tank)
2 Marble Hatchets

What do you think, shall i make any changes?
 
Hatchets are schooling fish, so you should get atleast 6, more would be better of course. Cories are shoaling (kind of like schooling except they don't really swim around together). They like groups, so I'd get atleast 6.
 
i would say skip the hatchets, add one more cory, and nothing else. you'll be pretty full at that point. or add three cories, no hatchets or bn pleco, and 3-4 more danios.
 
If you are skipping the Hatchets, then I'd up your Danio school to 8-10 (can even out each type if ya want).

Then you possibly have room for a pair of Rams in the tank. I'd definitely get atleast 6 cories though, if you still plan on having them. With that stocking (what you have ^^ plus increasing the danios, adding more cories, and a pair of rams), you should be fine. Sounds like it will be a really nice tank. :D
 
well i probably should have added that i already added the BN pleco so....

6 Danios
1 Dwarf Gourami
6 False Julli Cory
1 Bn Pleco
2 Rams

and also, i have no sand in my tank, its small blue gravel. Its not smooth and round but it also doesnt look sharp. So would it be safe for the corys?
 
It should be fine, as long as its not sharp. :)
