10 gallon to 29 gallon. suggestions?

[Naetron]

After the replies i recieved from my last post i have begun the process of upgrading my 10 gallon planted tank. I have a bead on a 29 gallon tank (29.5L, 13D,17H). I want to get a small school of fish as any addition and perhaps a couple more cories. What do you guys think would work well in the new 29 gallon?

My current stock is:

2 balloon mollies
2 albino corys
1 clown pleco
1 oto
1 aquatic dwarf frog

it is a planted tank.

Thanks for the help
Nate

I would definately get a couple more corys and a couple more otos, both like the company. There are tons of different kinds of tetras, I think they all would work with your list. A school of 8-10 should stick together nicely.

I have a group of 11 Cardinal Tetras in my 29 gallon tank. When strangers see my tank they think I have salt water fish in a freshwater tank. They have nice coloring and I think they are a lot more hardy than Neon Tetras.

Cardinal tetras would be a wonderful choice for a 29 gallon tank. A smallish shoal should look wonderful. I haven't had good experiences with them, however. I got six for my established 10 gallon tank, and all of them died off within 4 days. I think they were asian-bred cardinals. I read they are weaker than the natural caught ones.

Another fish that would look nice in your tank are White cloud minnows. I have a small group of them now, and they are active and very playful. Great fish.

CArdinals are great i ahve 10 cardinal tetras and 6 nerrow wedge. They school and it looks GREAT

Also, try sand in you new tank. I got a 50lb bag of Pool Filter Sand for 10 Canadian Dollers. I love the look of sand.
