So I am revamping two of my tanks as we speak. one is a 10g and the other a 29g.

I plan on having 2 GBRs, 2 ottos, and 3 albino corys in the 10G.

And I want to make the 29G home for a pair of mated convicts, Any suggestions for a bottom dweller in this tank? I have a small pleco right now but I'm not sure if its common or not so I don't want it to get too large. I was also wondering if I should get some dithers for this tank?

Any suggestions on either tanks?
 
Post a pic of your pleco so we could identify it for you. Not sure but that 10gal seems like it would be overstocked seein how a pair of rams should have a 20gal tank and you want 2 rams 2 ottos and 3 corys. Corys do better in larger groups which you cant really do in a 10gal.

29g for a pair of Convicts is ok not sure you would be safe with bottom dwellers cuz once they pair and have eggs there gonna get really aggressive.
 
Like Ger said, the 10 is too small for a pair of gbr's. Convicts go best with convicts - about 6 to spread out aggression but your tank is too small. Maybe 1 convict and a firemouth with a BN Plec might work.
