Tank Help

[MonkeyButto]

Hi I recently set up (in the past few months) a 29 gallon tank. Right now it’s stocked with 1 F opaline gourami, 1 F gold gourami, and a bristlenose pleco. Is there any fish I could add, or am I filled up? I was potentially thinking a few Cory cats, or swordtails, but I am unsure as I am VERY much an amateur!

I suggest the Corydora but do research on them because some think they are cleanup fish. i personally have had a few Emerald Corydora that are very hardy. I feed them a few pellets that are specifically made for Corydora and other bottom dwelling fish.

Thank you, I will research more on them. Would my 29 gallon be overstocked with 2 three spot gourami, a pleco, and 4 Cory cats? Or would I be fine?

If the Pleco is a common Pleco I would say yes because they produce lots of waste. The bioload will increase as the fish grow. I recommend a 50% weekly water change and you should be fine.
