Fishlore newbie looking for 29 gallon stocking suggestions

Looking for some great stock ideas for a 29 g zen type tank that currently has a golden Gourami and 5 Congo tetras. I would love some opinions on what to add for personality and color. And of course friendly options thanks

Lazor cories.

I second laser cories! Usually I'd reccomend adding more tetras to the school but they get pretty big so I'd stick with the few. Cories are super fun and wiggly, so are smaller plecos (i have a baby bristlenose in my 29) and snails, especially mysteries! I have a soft spot for mysteries- they skydive off the glass and spin around just for funsies.

Thanks! I would get a snails but I have a planted tank. And a lot of the plants said NO snails. I bet they are fun!

I definitely recommend the corydoras. I originally bought them just as cleaners, I have 5 emerald corydoras in my 40g and they have absolutely stolen my heart. They're the most active fish I've ever seen. And the things they do have had me all over the internet thinking something's wrong lol. But they are just hyper little fish. One night I had my air stone cranked up higher than usual. For a solid half hour I watched my Cory's get into the bubbles and let it push them up and out of the tank water. Then swim down and do it again like it was an amusement park. LMBO. Great addition to any tank in my opinion.
