hey! you should get more cories... i know they are expensive but you should have at least 3 of each species, just get another one, and 3 more of the cheap species that cannot breed with your current one
love your chiclids, keep it going
what is a vp?
i see a pleco in the 6th picture, and the plecos grow very big, so i'd say keep a 125g ready to use when you have to move it in.

Hi there thank you for the advice I was definitely thinking of getting another cory and what would you recommend for 3 more cheap filler fish? The shop that I got the fish from called them vp loaches *shrug* they looked awesome ?. Oh no I got 2 of the plecos *facepalm*

Welcome to the forum.

I'd rehome the CAE's ASAP, those things get MUCH too large for a 29G, and are not ideal community tankmates, anyway....see "Behavior and Compatibility" in the link below

Gyrinocheilus aymonieri (Sucking 'Loach')
