Default thoughts on stocking

ok so ive had my tank up and going for about as of right now i have
* 8 pristella tetras
* 6 cardinal tetras
* 2 julii corys
* 2 emerald corys
* 1 albino bristlenose pleco


* java fern
* java moss
* wisteria
* anubius nana
* banana plant
and big piece of drift wood right in the middle

i have a 29g with a aquaclear 70

i really love the cardinal tetras colors i wish i had bought more.
i want to know what you all think and what yall would do?
i am planning as of right now on a pair of german blue rams.
i would love to be able to add more cardinals too mine are still tiny as of right now so im guessing once they grow theyll fill the tank somemore but i just love the color.

so tell me what yall think what yall would do no opinions are bad opinions im open to everything

Honestly sounds like you are maxed out but if you must get more i would just get 2 more cardinals or a small group of neons. or a female betta

Well, to be honest I never understood why people buy such a small tank and want to stock it so much. It's not always a matter of whether or not you have plants or good filtration. I would add a few more Cards if that is what you want, but would forego the idea of GBRs. From what I have seen they can be a little on the sensitive side, but I have never kept them. Personally, if what you had was helthy I'd leave it alone.

What plant is that in each back corner?

I agree, I wouldnt put much more in it. Corys do like to be in groups though, so if you want to add a fish really badly, add a couple more of them, at least it will help make the fish happier. But watch your water quality closely
