I felt like posting this because I see alot of people put their crowded tanks on the spot for everyone to talk about and comment on well here's mine. Now take in consideration that I am getting a bigger tank very very soon. This is only temp not to keep in there for years on out like some. So please dont think that they are mistreated cause I do 3 WC a week at 45-55% everytime and all levels stay at 0.00 at all times with a PH at 8 and steady and temp at 78-80.

Now this is what it said for me and boy are you all going to have comments

This is from AqAdvisor.com which gives you a calculated count on your tank
Your aquarium filtration capacity for above selected species is 94%.
Recommended water change schedule: 80% per week. (You might want to split this water change schedule to two separate 55% per week)
Your aquarium stocking level is 192%.[SIZE=-1] [Generate Image][/SIZE]
Your tank is seriously overstocked. Unless this setup is temporary, you should consider a larger tank.

Total selected: 19 fishes
 
Yes I used the juvie setting

4 convicts
2 cobalts
4 yellow labs
2 peacocks
1 pleco
1 raph cat
2 kenyi hybrids
1 rusty
1 acei
and 2 not sure on
 
I hope the "larger" tank is about 150 gallons! Yes, your 29 is way overstocked and too short for the adult size of some of these fish, not to mention a lack of swimming room. Sill nicely decorated.
 
so you NEVER have nitrates in there?
 
With all that decor, regardless how it looks, yoy are at best maintaining a 15 gal volume tank with limited swimming area. Juvies or not, I find it sad.
 
Think that is bad check out this stocking from a MOD on another forum for a 90
