That's a bit overstocked, even if most of the fish are small. Also, the tiger barbs are probably a bad idea - they will likely rip your livebearers apart and harass the rest, especially the poor betta.
I'd forget the tiger barbs and consider going with the FM or the Con, not both - that way one will rule the whole tank as opposed to the two of them splitting an already small tank into two halves.

ok instead of the tiger barbs then can i get 12 neon tetras??? and i just want the swordtails thats all for livebearers... and i love my convict and FM
Neons probably won't work great either. Nor will the betta on further thought - bettas are very slow swimmers, and will be totally stressed out by the FM and con, and cichlids and abanatoids don't seem to like each other very much to boot.
You already have a lot of colour with the liverbearers, do you need some tetras? If you do, I suggest serpae tetras or maybe some cherry or gold barbs. They're a little more robust than neons.
Oh, and be careful with the swordtails - I'm not an expert, but I believe they need some salt in the water to thrive (or very hard water), whereas the FM and bushynose plec won't like that.

i'd forget the betta and tiger barbs, too.
the neons will get eaten.
I'm not sure about swordtails, either, but mollies should be in slightly brackish water.
if you really want a betta, get a 2.5 gal tank from petsmart and a tetra 3i filter.

That is way to many fish in that stocklist...you have to many as it is now, I don't think you need anymore fish for your 29, leave it or take some fish out if you do anything. I'd suggest at least a 20 gallon for a single FM too.
not only way to many they are going to be all to big anyways for that 29. That stocklist MIGHT work in a 55 if the tiger barbs and liverbears dont get killed by the FM's and con...and please dont go buy them and all and say you are going to grow them for a 55 one day.
