Go with 2 Angels, a school of Tetras & a school of Corydoras & Goodluck with your new tank.

ok, well im not gonna b able to fill the tank til around friday because i cant put it where its gonna stay til then, and it could b a couple days later
so would it help reduce my cycle time if i went and put the bio-fiber cartrige that goes in the 29's filter and set it in the bottum of the 10 or near the outtake of the 10's filter to start getting some bacteria built up on it, or would it not do to much?

putting the filter media in an already well established tank will help with the cycle but im not sure how much difference it will make given the timescales involved. just make sure the established tank is healthy to avoid the introduction of any water bound disease or parasites into the new tank.

im sure you know to build up your stocks slowly but i would cycle with a school of 6-8 hardy tetra, possibly lemon. then add the school of corys (we love metaes and pandas) and finally add the angels.

good luck with the new setup.
