my favorite thing for a 29 would be a pair of convicts. And all you need to decorate the tank with is some flowerpot coves. they are really funny little fish to watch and they get to recognize their owners. they would have to be alone in a 29 though.

Psst, don't buy painted fish. That's gross.

I believe a ropefish will outgrow a 29g. They get pretty big.
I'd go for some tetras and unpainted glass fish. Or some dwarf neon (praecox) rainbows...stunning fish!

your welcome, but You need to know that that 5gallon is not good. The gouramis need more room, and plecs grow to be 20 inches long.
