So i recently was handed down a blue gourami and i wanted to make sure that im not overstocking my tank.

I have a marineland penguin 200 for my 29g tank, I also have a few spare air pumps and sponge filters that I could put on it.

Is this stocking okay,
5 x Black Kuhli (Pangio oblonga)
6 x Black Skirt Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi)
1 x Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.)
1 x Blue Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus)
1 x Mystery Snail (Pomacea cuprina)

I checked it on Aqadvisor and it said I was good and I wanted to make sure.
 
I think you'll be okay. The new Gourami should go well with your Blackskirts.
 
You are good. I actually have personal experience with a 29 gal and a penguin 200 in that tank. My advice is to cut the back of your lid if you have one and put a second penguin 200 on it. No lid then even better. The extra filtration will do wonders for your water quality.
 
Idk when I can set it up, I recently started up a planted tank and redid the lighting in some of my other tanks. The price is starting to add up :/
 
If you can afford a Tetra 40 I know they are cheaper and that would work as well. Get your filters off Amazon. They seem to have the best prices.
