I have a 29 gallon, just switched to live plants (hopefully they survive :)) I do a 50 % water change every week, and all of my params are good. Current stock as follows:

5 platys (2 panda, 2 red tail dailmation, 1 bumblebee)
6 black phantom tetras
4 bloodfin tetras
2 spotted cory's
1 german blue ram
1 clown pleco
1 tiger nerite snail

I'm waiting for my lfs to get more spotted cory's because I would like to get 2 - 3 more. What do you guys think about my stocking? Too much? I was thinking of maybe rehomeing the bloodfins.
any info and advice is appreciated :)
 
IMO you are stocked. The platies are going to add to your bioload quite a bit, as will your clown pleco. After the cories I wouldn't add anything else.
 
The corys were my last planned fish purchase I was just wondering if I had room or if I should lose the bloodfins in order to get the corys.
 
I think you could push at least 3, corys are lively little things but are great at cleaning up missed food particles. I don't think you need to worry about rehoming any bloodfins as they stay near the top/ middle of the tank
