I was wondering if this would be ok for a 29 gallon stock?
It may be overstocked a bit but I have a Bio-Wheel 330, which is made for a 70 gallon tank, turning it over, over 30 times per hour.

-1 Dwarf Gourami
-Pair of Bolivian Rams
-7 Lemon Tetras
-6 Bloodfin Tetras
-4 Harlequin Rasboras

Or

-1 Dwarf Gourami
-Pair of Bolivian Rams
-12 Lemon Tetras
-4 Harlequin Rasbora

Or you can make one, but make sure it has the gourami, rams, and harlequin rasboras in it. I may be able to sell my harlequins, but I'm not sure. I really like the Lemon tetras and Bloodfins, unless you can tell me about anotehr nice tetra for it. Thanks in advance!

Wow, yeah, that is a lot of filtration on your tank. However, 29 gallon tanks don't have a ton of surface area.
Here is my suggestion:

1 dwarf gourami
2 bolivian rams
6 lemon tetras (or tetra of similar size)
6 corydoras

Do you think:

1 Dwarf Gourami
2 Rams
8-10 Lemon Tetra
4 Corydoras

I firmly believe that corydoras catfish should have a school of six. Don't deny them a proper school.

You could try what SolubleFish said, except using neon tetras. Those will add more color to your tank, and they are a tiny bit smaller, maybe a centimeter.

Well, I had 6 but 2 died. The LFS called them Green Aeneus Cories. They are not very big and are nto as green. They have more or a "Spot" Would That stock work if I added 2 more cories? Do you think I could add 2 Albino cories to their shoal?

Cories really need to be kept with their own kind, so the albinos wouldn't work; they would need a school of their own. 6 of the green cories would be best.

the albinos are just a color morph of the greens i think...i've heard people say they will school together n others say they wont so i'd guess you'd hafta try it yourself

I would stick with the same color, because corys school by sight, and the albinos don't look green.

Ok, so maybe get some bronze cories, since they are practically the same. How about the stock? I kind of like the lemon tetra, all the other nice tetras are agressive or too shy.

How is this for stock?

1 Dwarf Gourami
6-7 Lemon Tetras
4 Harlequin Rasboras(Iffy)
2 Bolivian Rams
2 Egyptian Mouthbrooders
7 Corydoras

I know it may be a little overstocked, but the Egyptian Mouthbrooders are not definite.

That is overstocked. I wouldn't get the harlies since they need to be in a school. You'd also be better off without the mouthbrooders.

They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

I thought so too. I want to get rid of the harlequins, but I may not. Probably no mouthbrooders, just did some research on how aggressive they are.
