Hahaha I was about to write that your female Guppy looked preggers and then scrolled down to see the pic of the fry!

Both female guppies were pregnant. Now only one remains pregnant. There is about 20 fry in the tank and they don't seem to be getting bothered at all by the other fish as they are out in the open.
As far as the final stocking for the 29g
All the remains is the angelfish, and I'm debating between cory cats, or some ottos to help out with any algae. Leaning towards the ottos at the moment maybe 2 or 3 of them?
Does this seem fine or will these numbers be too high now?

Cory's root around the bottom of the tank and are good for cleaning up food that the others missed, they don't eat algae. Otto's do a fairly good job of it (algae) and stay small. They like to be in groups too. At least that is what I always read. I have two and they are never together! My Cory's are always close to each other, sometimes even sitting on top of each other.

Well I think I have decided to go with the Otos since there always seems to be some algae in the tank and I hate the look of it.

Update:
Well I have been away on vacation in teh Bahamas for the past week. I gotta say being down there just makes me want a reef tank even more. But I am stuck with freshwater for now, as I cant devote the time to a reef tank.
To update while I was gone. My rubber lip pleco passed in the qt tank. I'm not sure why, all the other fish seem to be doing fine though. Not sure if I'm going to replace him or just get some more otos in his place.
I also received my CRS in the mail from mgamer along with some random crypts. I will be cleaning the tank and doing a WC today and planting all the new plants.
Since replacing the Rhinox diffuser which was not allowing any CO2 into the tank with a ceramic airstone I have seen significant growth in all my plants again especially the vals and baby sword. Pretty soon I wont have any room for this sword.
Will post some pics later of the tank all cleaned and pretty.
Im going to transfer over the neon that is in QT today also as he has been in there for over 2 weeks already and is doing fine. I want to transfer over the livebearers too, but I am leaving on vacation for a week on friday so I will probably wait until I get back to move them so I can keep an eye on them in the new tank.
