Update to my 29 Gallon Stocking Poll

I have decided to pass on the glass cats. So now I am thinking:

5 or 6 Serpaes
5 or 6 Gold Barbs
2 Dwarf Gournamis or 2 pearl gournamis
2 Peacock gudgeons
2 oto cats

Does this sound a little better? I know some here say that the tetras can get nippy, but I already have one in the tank that my son picked out and named, so ridding him from the tank is sort of out of the question. After doing alot of research, it sounds like the jury is split on the serpaes and whether or not they will nip. Many say theirs do and many say theirs don't. Guess it is a toss up on the specific ones I pick out. Any advice on whether or not to have 5 or 6 of the tetras and barbs? Will one fish make that big of a difference? Thanks again! Will post pics when all is said and done.

sounds good to me but id do 1 gourami not 2, those 2 species males are very intolerant of each other! and females are very rare in stores. u could even cut the gouramies and up the oto school they like being in bigger schools

i wouldnt say pearl gouramis are "intolerant"

pick either the barbs or the tetras and get 12.

pick either the gouramis or the gudgeons and get one.
