I was wondering how bad it is to keep this many fish in a tank my buddy was saying something about bio fiber something or other
wow type bigger I can't read that.
If this is a real question - I try not to be one of those people who replies - "hey you're overstocked!" to every freaking post but yeah you have way too many fish in that tank. A 29 would be alright for the firemouth by himself or mabye one dempsey with very very large, frequent water changes. Also keep in mind even with six canister filters you still can't overstock the hell out of your tank...filters only make the water LESS toxic. Also, the oxygen levels in the tank will be too low to support all those fish as they grow.
Anyhow...welcome to MFK...now start shopping for a bigger tank!

You'll need to correct your grammar before I can make sense of anything. If you can have to space for another tank, get a 100G at least. All those fish are hating that 29G.
You have been keeping fish for 11 years, yet you dont know how to correctly stock a tank and the needs of these fish???

I think if I understand correctly, these fish were moved from two different tanks which the OP was forced to get rid of due to circumstances.
They may or may not survive in a 29 for that length of time but it's a fact that it wont be good for them. large frequant water changes and careful monitoring (testing) might well get you through until you can get the other tanks set back up.
