I have a 29 gallon tank and an 80 gallon tank (my wife keeps her Goldfish in it). What type of fish can I put in the 29 gallon tank that would be happy from fry to adult? I have currently two 2.5 inch flowerhorns in it. I want something with more monster looks and attitude. Thanks for any kind of response.
What type is good?

Pike top minnows, leaf fish, wasp fish, or how about a chaca chaca (pic)
Or go slightly brackish with dwarf mudkippers, crabs and spaghetti eels.

flowerhorns are monsters themselves, and they will get very big, much too big for a 29 gal. i dont know what you were planning on doing with them for life, but the convict idea is a good one.if you get at least a few you are bound too end up with a mated pair. im even planning the same thing, for feeders though.. 
Guppy made some interesting suggestions... You should pay attention to what he said.

flowerhorns will eat live food, are generally very agressive, and generally have spectacular color. They will need a tank much larger than a 29. You wont find a monster that will gobble live food that will live in a 29 for life IMO.
p.s. pellets are better
3 figure 8 puffers would make for an interesting 29. Pretty vicious for their size, and fun to watch them eat.
