29g help and 8g suggestions

Okay so the plan is to re-stock my 29g but i changed my stocking list again but i cant decide how many of each rainbow to get
It will be stocked with threadfins and dwarf neon rainbows but i dont know how many of each so i was counting on you guys to help

My stocking plan for the 29g so far-
1 BN Pleco

I'm also thinking of using the 8g tank as an ADF tank but arent sure how many would be acceptable and aso wondering what the other possibilities for an 8g tank is, i'm open to suggestions anything but a betta btw

Cheers People

ADF's are fun, you could put 3 in an 8g tank

Here's a tip... Look for your nearest Maidenhead Aquatics shop. They are a UK fish chain which likes to hide in Garden centres. They are an amazing chain of shops - possibly the best fish chain in the world (and I say that with confidence). http://www.fishkeeper.co.uk/
http://www.fishkeeper.co.uk/all_stor...php?countyId=6 There is one in York, don't know how far away from you but I'll let you work the rest out for yourself.

I think 8 Threadfins and 8 Neon Dwarfs would be cool. I like your stock, BTW I love Rainbows!

As for the 8gal... A few endler's livebearers, or Dwarf puffers perhaps?

Great! I have a few relatively near, but not as near as some other LFS's. I wouldn't get them all at the same time though, get one school first then the other school 2 weeks later so the filter has time to adjust.
