all of those at the same time? thats way too much. my advice if you want angelfish, only get one and i'd say only a few other fish. otherwise you'd overcrowd you tank and get ammonia just like me.

No way in a 29 gal.

I don't know what you mean by "blue cichlids"....?

Red Tailed sharks are highly aggressive to each other, so you could have one only.

2 Dwarf Gouramis OR 2 angelfish - not both, and 29 gal is still small for 2 angels. One would be better.

One bristenose would be enough, since they too can be aggressive towards their own species, although they are fine with other fish.

So - if you have 1 angelfish, one shark, one bristlenose and maybe 5 - 6 tetras, that should be okay.

Just don't get neons - a full grown angel will eat them! Something at least 2" for the tetras I'd say.
