3gal and a 29gal??

Both of those tanks are now empty and I want to start new.
I was thinking dwarf puffers in the 3gal. Anyone have any suggestions about the 29gal??
I would like to have something different from my 75gal (angels, kribs, serpaes, RTB shark, golden barbs, GBR etc).
 
for the 29 i get:
8 neons
3 kuhli loaches
4 glass cats
4 columbian tetras
some shrimp and snails as well

for the 3 gal, nothing, possibly a betta
 
I'd do cherry (or whatever type you prefer) shrimp in a 3 gal, with live plants. Maybe one DP, definitely not 2 or 3 though.
 
Dwarf puffers are messy fish. I wouldn't put even one in a 3g. 5g would be minimum and it would need good filtration. Even those these guys are small, they are messy!

Go with a betta or some shrimp for the 3g.
 
for the 29 gal get a spineless eel(peacock or tiretrack) a few schools of tetras and some mollies. throw in your algae control(ottos, pleco snails your choice) and you should have a full tank top to bottom
 
Ooh, if I had a spare 29G lying around I personally would aim for a planted tank with:

3x Botia Striata, or 3x Botia Almorhae (Yoyo)
6x Black neon tetra
4x Neon tetra

Or...I might go with:

4x Peppered Cory (or 2x Peppered + 2x Corydoras schwartzi)
6x Black neon tetra
4x Endlers (true)
