Hello everybody, and thank you beforehand for helping me and sharing your knowledge and experience with me. I will leave a picture below of how mu tank currently looks. I need help planting and stocking my aquarium.

Water parameters:
Ph 7.6-8
Gh/kh 200-300 maybe
Temperature 78

Size: 29 gallon
Lighting: i have the hyger 36w light in my 18 deep aquarium
I use aquarium coops all in one fertilizer and root tabs

Currently plants:
Dwarf aquarium lilly
Amazon swords
Anubias
Mysterious plants on right side of wood

Current fish:
1 molly
Thousands if snails


Plans:
Get vallisnieria and put it on the back perimeter of the fish tank
Get pogostemon stellous around the drift wood
Get cryptos in the foreground
Get 6-7 corydoras
5-6 mollies
2-3 hillstream loaches

You’ll need a tall Val to fill in the background of a 29 - might want to add some taller stem plants as well.

Crypts vary widely in size but not many stay small or short enough for foreground placement. C.parva is one that would work that way and C.wendtii Green might work.

You might consider something like Helanthium tenellus Green or H.bolivianus Quadricostatus.

Pogostemon stellatus is a nice plant, should look good.

What fish would You recommed? Are they all good for a medium light tank?
 
What would you call medium light? What kind of fixture? Can it be dimmed?

As for fish - what interests you? More livebearers or something completely different?

As far as fish go, it really would help to know GH, pH & KH.

GH particularly dictates a lot of choices where fish are concerned unless a keeper is willing to use RO or products to amend tap water.
