It's finaly cycled

My 29 gallon is cycled. Didn't take nearly long as I had anticipated. As of Right now there is 3 Zebra Danios and 2 Albino Cory Cats. I would like some more corys, some black skirt tetras and some neon tetras. What do you all suggest as to what will be good with out over stocking the tank. I'm not that impressed with the zebras so if need be I could get rid of those.

zebras are one of the most hardy of fish and are beautiful at a humble level. But this is what I recommend

5 Zebra Danios
4 Black Skirts
4 Albino Cories
1 Honey Gourami

I wouldn't add neons with the danios or black skirts. their high activity levels would be intimidating to the smaller more peaceful neons. I think a honey gourami would do well as a nice show fish. Males would be the better choice as they are more colorful

^^ then again, there are always exceptions. but I think since you already have the danios, they already rule the tank and they would be very curious towards the neons if you were to get them. When working with smaller fish, its best to add them first with other peaceful fish liket he cories and allow them some time to grow to full size. Then add the other active fish so they are less likely to pick on the as of now bigger neons

Could I put in a Powder Blue Dwarf Gourami instead of a honey gourami.

The powder blue would be pushing it a little since its a bit bigger than the honey. But just as long as you keep up with the weekly water changes, you'll be fine with that stock
