Can I Do This?

My 29 gallon is quite stocked. 5 gold tetras, 2 flame tetras, 1 golden chinese algae eater, 2 male guppies, 3 ballon mollies, 5 panda corys, 1 halfbeak, 1 swordtail and 1 molly. Everyone gets along very well. There isn't any fighting at all. However, in my 6 gallon, I was stupid enough to put a dwarf puffer in with 5 pygmy cories and the puffer is very nippy towards them. Would it kbe too much for my 29 gallon to move my pygmys into it? They're so little, I couldn't imagine it adding much to the bioload. Just wanted to get opinions.

By the way, my golden algae eater is the most docile thing I've ever met. I've had him for over 2 years and he's never killed or even chased anyone. Please don't tell me to move him.

I would definitely get them away from the puffer and maybe make plans in the future to house them else where?

The guppies, molly, and other cories would be an issue with the puffer.

The puffer will certainly nip them to death. If you move them to the larger tank just keep a close eye on your stats... you may have to shorten then time between water changes a little.
If you have to have something to go in with the puffer try a couple of otos, just be sure the tank is well established and make sure you feed them algae wafers. You MAY can try adding another DP, but if you try just know that you risk one of the being killed. You'll also need to remove the original one, rearrange the tank and then add them both in at the same time.

Nononononono, I mean move my pygmys to the 29 gallon. I want to keep my puffer where it is. Sorry about the misunderstanding!

I think you would be ok. Yeah it would be a big bio load, but just watch your water quality for the first two weeks after the move.
