Okay, I have some questions:

1. My sister gave me her 29g, and I wanted to get a male gourami. Can I get ghost shrimp, or will he have them for a snack? I know bettas eat them, but I've never owned a gourami before, so I'm not sure

2. Can I get albino corries? My sister used to have some, and they were cool

3. Can I get some danios? Zebra danios, maybe

Any help would be great! Thanks!

What type of Gourami did you have in mind? That can effect their compatibility. Some get quite large while the dwarfs stay quite small.

I wanted the blue dwarf gourami. I wanted just one, because I think that's all you can have per tank
I'm not sure, because I've never owned one before. But that's the one I want, blue dwarf

I think the shrimp will be fine with all of the fish you mention. You should definitely go for some cories, at least 6. The danios would be good as well, just make sure you give them a school too!

The blue dwarf should be ok with those fish. Just make sure you have enough danios, otherwise they will be miserable and pick on your other fish.

How about a stocking list:

1 dwarf gourami
6-7 zebra danios
6 corydoras (ones that stay about 2 inches, i think the albino ones are bigger than this).

EDIT: Instead of a dwarf gourami, you could have a pearl gourami. More beautiful than the dwarf gourami IMO.

What about the regular blue gourami? I think they are cute. I think I've seen some at the pet store before.
