It is a 29 gallon tank and has 55 gallon filtration w/ some live plants, this is what it currently is housing
-12 female bettas
-1 dwarf bristle nose pleco
This is what I would like to add
-4 bronze cories
I do 1/4 weekly water changes and change the cartdridges once a month, so far everyone is happy and healthy, the tank has been running for at least 3 months w/ fish.
Thanks in Advance!

Okay, cool! How many otocinclus could I add in about 1 or 2 months? Feel free to edit your answers! :)

I don't see a problem at all with adding the corys. Sounds like your tank can easily handle them.

Depends on the size of the fish. The scale to follow is 1 inch of fish per 10 gallons of water. So..for a 29 gallon, anything more than 3 inches of fish would be overcrowding. Also, the more room fish have the larger they will grow. You have a large filter so you could overcrowd a little. BTW, the higher the temperature the larger the fish will grow.

I wouldn't see a problem in adding 4 more fish. Just as long as they get along with that type of fish.

I say thats fine, cory's are bottom dwellers, so should fit in fine.
