good morning Kamakasi
I have had GBRs in my tank before. I find that they pretty much like to hang out at the bottom of the tank as does your two BNs and the two loaches as well.
IMO I think that the bottom portion of your 29g tank is pretty much filled now.
The GBRs get along pretty much with others but I have never had loaches or BNs so I really couldnt tell you if they would get along well with the GBRs.
I love GBRs and can see why you would want to add them.. they are great looking fish for sure.

you might be able to do 1 as far as stocking goes. its a lot of bottom dwelling fish, but most are really calm. I have 2 clown loaches and a pair of GBRs. the male chases the loaches away from the GBR area, but i think the clown loach teases him to have fun.

Most of the fish I have stay at the bottom of the tank. its not too crowded they all have their own little space. just provide lots of places to get away and hide, and maybe some live plants along the back or sides, and the fish should all be happy and fine together.
