What to add in my 29 gallon tank.

[nuchumYussel]

Hi, I have a 29 gallon freshwater tank. This tank has been functioning
for about 3 months. In this tank, I have: 1 Dwarf Gourami, 1 Pearl
Gourami, 1 snake-skin gourami, 4 cory cats, 1 pleco, 1 platinum
gourami, 1 boosmani rainbowfish, and 4 angelfish. Does anyone have any
suggestions as to what I should add? The only problem is that some of
these fish have a tendency to kill of new tank mates. They have so far
killed of: 1 dwarf gourami, 2 paradise fish, 1 boosmani raibowfish,
almost killed 1 snake-skin gourami and they also almost killed 1
platinum gourami. Any advice what-so-ever would be greatly
appriciated.

I would recommend not adding any more fish, going solely by the 1" per
gallon rule, you're close to, or over the line, even if the pleco is still
small, and it's not going to stay that way. What kind of filtration do you
have? I have heard horror stories about tanks with multiple gourami, but I
have little exp with them, (I own a single pink kisser) so I'll leave that
to someone else. Do keep in mind that angels are cichlids, and prone to
cichlid behavior, tankmates for these fish must be chose carefully. As it
is, I would invest some time monitoring the tank, identify the troublemakers
and move fish accordingly. Sometimes moving decor around with "reset" the
territorial tendancies of fish, but in a tank that small, there's not much
territory to fight over.

Add nothing. The 4 angels alone, when grown, will occupy this tank, not to
speak of the pleco.

you're done... get rid of your gouramis/angels maybe you could add
something, but they are limited by your stocking preferences, thus the
angels....

What more can you ad?
You're kidding, right?
If not...youneed to remove some of those fish, as you are over stocked as it
is.

4 grown Angelfish could not fit into a 29g.
