Stocking 29 Gallon Tank

dwarf gouramis go great with platies. You could add some guppies or danios. Not both. the danios would get too nippy.

I know it's kind of different from the way most people keep fishes, but have you considered keeping it understocked for a while while you cut your teeth, so to speak? I think that would be the perfect way to start out--much fewer problems and much less cause for worry.

Well, I'm going with just the platys for the foreseeable future... So, that is what I am doing. And I am most likely going to get the cories next, in two - four weeks.

5 platys for the moment once theyve been in ther for a few weeks add the corys, the in another few weeks add the gouramis, thats my suggestion, just remember dont be to hasty with fish choices and adding fish, it is a common mistake, as well as not cycling.

If you really really want a pleco, some common types that stay small are bristlenose plecos, and rubber pleco. There are actually lots of plecos that stay reasonably small, just research before you pick one out. I believe clown plecos are also fairly small - can't remember for sure.

Otos would be a fine addition. They like being in a group and most people recommend adding them after your tank has had a chance to grow some green algae for them to eat.

Gold nugget plecos only get 6 inches, so that would work also...they're expensive though, but 100% prettier than a regular pleco.

You could get a banjo cat. Though you'll never see it.

Is a HOB filter enough aeration for this sized tank? There are bubbles everywhere...

I had a banjo cat, and I rarely saw it in the day.... But at night it was quite interesting.

IMO your HOB filter should provide enough aeration.
