I've a 29G with a Bristlenose Pleco and an Apple snail in it currently. I want to add the following-
1 ANGEL
7 RUMMYNOSE TETRA
2 BLUE RAMS OR 2 CURVICEPS OR 2 KRIBS
AND
3 KUHLI LOACHES

I haven't yet decided on whether or not I want the Rams, Curviceps or the Kribs, any suggestion on this would be appreciated as well. Is this combination too much? I feel I may be pushing the bio-load a bit.

Thanks in advance,

As its only a 29 i would personally go with the Angel OR the Kribs/Rams/Cirviceps.

I think too many fish (particullarly cichlids) in one tank can make them more aggressive.

In my experience I have found that angels stay away from dwarf cichlids mainly because angels are surface dwellers while the dwarves are more bottom dwellers. Is your tank planted? That would help to support this bioload. If you keep up the water changes I think this stocking list should be fine.

I plan on putting some plants(suggestions?), but no it's not planted now. As far as the Curviceps/Blue Rams/Kribs. Which one would coexist the best with this combo. I like all of them, I've had Rams in the past and really liked them, but thought about trying something new.

I don't know about the curviceps but the rams will be fine. The kribs might not work due to them becoming extremely aggressive when breeding. You could also try a species of apistogramma.
