29 gallon list?

Well my cousin (who is gonna make and account on this site this next week) is starting his first tank. I am really helping him but I just need help with a stocking list for him. He definently wants Bleeding Heart tetras so there goes the schooling fish. I had plans like:
6 Bleeding Hearts
2 Bolivian or German Blue Rams
3 Yoyo loaches (Mabye not? I can't find very much information on them!)

or

6 Bleeding Hearts
4 khulli loaches
1 Gold or Blue or Pearl Gourami

Does this sound ok? Help me out with the Yoyo's, I know almost nothing about them except that they are a loach lol. Any other suggestioins are welcome! Thankyou!

I agree with jwokmuba2. But its personal preference.

I considered the rams for my 29 gallon, but after reading other people's experiences with them, I decided against it. There's likely to be territorial disputes, especially with more than one ram. They are beautiful fish, though.

I agree with the given stocking list above. That list looks nice Just replace the angel with a gourami or you can just add 2 more corydoras without the gourami. Then you'll have 2 schools of fish. So maybe...

6 Bleeding Hearts
5 kuhlis
6 Corydoras

Keep us updated on what you and your friend chooses
