  1. Yeah your going to have a awesome community


  2. Omit the Ghost Knife fish.  Ya will need at least a 55 gallon and they can get up to 20 inches...as well as being semi-aggressive.  The Clown loaches are great with 3 but can get big...so plan on upgrading eventually and pretty soon, have seen these fish get up to a foot long.  The Angels will be fine.  Think about a school of Tiger Barbs...they have the same colors as the Clown loaches and dont get nearly as big.  Also think about adding one Dwarf Gourami to the mix. For your bottom feeders you could go with a group of 5 cory cats.

    Recap

    2 Angels

    5 Cory Cats OR 3 Kuhli Loaches

    5 Tiger Barbs

    1 Dwarf Gourami (Neon Blue or Flame...your choice).

    Lots of plant cover and a log for hiding space...for the Cory Cats.  If you dont want to go with the Cory Cats...think about 3 Kuhli Loaches.  A Red Tail Shark is a great fish, but would be cautious with the fish and tank size.  Granted they could go in a 29 Gallon, my best experience is with them in a 55.  They get to be about 6 inches...but it is a little misleading because they are a "beefy" fish...and can get a little aggressive towards others when full grown...more space, less aggression.

    Lots of hiding spots...and they like to dig and hide in the gravel.  But it adds an interesting look to the tank.

    EDIT...dont get upside down catfish, unless you plan on getting 3 in total and lots of floating plant cover.  Its a good idea, but have a cave or some sort of rocks/wood formation for them to hang out in...they are very social and love to be in groups.  With a 29 Gallon you could do it.  But like I said, lots of floating plant cover and some cave or other hiding spots for them.

    Best of Luck!

  3. Clown fish are marine. Red tailed sharks are freshwater. There are marine angels, but I'm assuming those aren't what you mean.

    So...big "not compatible!" flag.

    Unless of course there's some freshwater fish sold as a "clown" that I'm not aware of.

    Also, ghost knife fish get too big for a 29 gallon.

    EDIT: Do you mean clown loach rather than clown fish? Freshwater, but still too big for a 29 gallon.

  4. the clown loachs are no good they get to big same for the ghost

    id go with

    2-angels

    1-red tail black shark

    1-rubber lipped pleco

    and 1-Upside-Down Catfish

    so everything is covered top middle and bottom and a cleaner fish
