Just looking for some opinions/ideas about my aquarium stocking. I'd like to change it up a little over the next couple months. Here is my tank info and what I currently have.

-29g with aquaclear 50 filter, and a heater, kept at 78deg.
-Playsand substrate with a few live plants (crypts, oriental sword, and one more i forget the name of), a few small fake plants, a large piece of hollow driftwood, and a smaller piece of driftwood.

-1 American Flagfish
-1 Gold Gourami
-1 Gold Panchax killifish
-1 Yoyo Loach
-5 Columbian Tetras
-5 Zebra Danios

What would you add/remove if this were your tank? I am most attatched to the gourami, flagfish, and killifish. I had some aggression problems with the gourami in the past, but after removing him, rearranging the tank, and adding him back a couple weeks later, everyone gets along fine now. Just looking for ideas I guess. Thanks!
 
Remove the yoyo Loach, it is schooling and needs a larger group. The tetras and danios would do better with at least 1 more each, but that's the minimum. I prefer a larger school, and would remove one of those two and up the number you have...So instead of the 5 danios {which might prefer a 4 ft. tank, according to many members here who keep them} I would have 10 tetras.

Then you could maybe add some kind of bottom feeder that stays small.
