yup nwe convict babys.. and im gonna get new community fish on the 3rd and just only maybe keep one female cichlid or maybe get one ram or 2 or one angel fish.. but mostly tetras and livebearers and corys
 
sounds good, angels might be alittle big for a 29 though, what do you have for fish right now?
 
CB- I was reading your signature-

3 male cons-3 to 4 inches 3 juvie JD biggest is 2 inches 2 lil tiney female cons 1 inches 1 upside down catfish 1 sengel bichir and a plec and thats all i can remember for now.

I just would like offer some advice regarding the stocking of your 29. It is my opinion that you are overstocked and for your fish's sake you need to either need to purchase a larger tank or return the Jack Dempseys. I realize they are juvies, regardless they will get too large for your 29. My roommate in college had a Jack Dempsey in a 29 by itself and it was 7" long or so before it died. It can possibly be done to keep a single JD in a 30, but i would not recommend it for life. For a moment you had your stocking under control, and I feel that the JDs tipped the scales against you quite a bit. Not to mention the complications between the fish once they start getting aggro.

This is not at all meant to flame you, but rather want to help you become a responsible fish keeper.
 
im done with the big cichlids i think ima have 2 rams 10 neons 4 corys 4 swordtails 4 mollys and thats it and maybe some groumies of some sort

So you are getting rid of your JDs and Cons? They aren't listed in your future plans?
 
So you got ride of all the stock you had and are planing a new tank setup for the 29?
If so I say go for the rams they would do great in the 29 and you could even do plants with them, that would look great IMO and you would not have any problems with territory like the bigger guys.
I know nothing about small schooling fish except they are a nice snack for my fish so I'll leave them to someone who knows
