Stock addition

[Falconwithaboxon]

So I've had a 29-gallon tank since August and just had a question on my stock. I was wondering if I could bring my zebra danios and albino cories up from 4 each to 8 each. I currently have 1 dwarf gourami, 8 neon tetras, 4 platies, 4 albino cories, 4 zebra danios, 4 siamese algae eaters, and 1 upper lip pleco plus 1 mystery snail. I know zebra danios and albino cories like bigger groups but I don't know if I have the room to bring both their numbers from 4 to 8. I could just go up to 6 of each or keep it at 4.

What are the tank dimensions (Length x width x height)?
How often do you do water changes and how much do you change?
How often do you feed them and what do you feed them?

4 Siamese algae eaters. Why? Do you just love them?

I liked them a lot. I didn't know how big they would get when I got them, some of my first fish I got back in September

You really like 4's and 8's don't you? Ha! I think your at your limit with a 29 gal tank. Plants, wood? Room to swim?

Yeah even in my big tank, everything is in groups of 4 or 8, except the gourami and angels which are 2 each. Not sure why those numbers tho, just seemed like good ones I guess lol

Heavily planted, mostly El Nino and Java Fern, also a couple stem plants I can't remember the name of. No wood currently although I have some leftover from setting up my big tank I've been thinking about adding.

Open water at the top, moderate room in middle and bottom, and a lot of hiding available.
