Getting a 29-gallon fish tank. Suggestions?

My dad said we might get a 29 gallon fish tank in the living room, yay! It will be a freshwater tank. What are some good fish I could keep in there? By the way, I have my own 10 gallon tank in my bedroom with a few guppies, dwarf platies, and ghost shrimp, so maybe something a little different than this? I also have a betta tank in my room too.

So the bottom line is this: What are some fairly interesting and not-that-hard to keep fish that will live well in a 29 gallon tank?

IDEAS AND QUESTIONS: Converting 10 to 20 gal aquarium?

Right now I have a 10 gallon tank with the following:

Betta fish
3 Cory catfish
5 Neon Tetras
Heater
Thermometer
Air Stone
20 Gal Filter
3 fake plants
Fake Rock setup
Gravel

I would really like to house my fish and more fish into a 20 gallon tank. I have a tank in mind and its measurements are perfect for my room.

I plan on getting rid of the 3 fake plants and putting in real plants. I don’t need to buy a new filter since my current one filters up to 20 gallons.

Here are some ideas on what I might want to get:
More Cory Cats
More Neon tetras
Loaches
Freshwater sharks
Ghost Shrimp
Apple Snails
Java fern
Java Moss
Anubias Nana
Anubias barteri

If you have any suggestions on what else I can add or anything on converting to the new tank would help. What would you do if you had these fish and supplies already and were upgrading to a new 20 gal tank? Thanks to all that answer!

I am trying to decide which fish to buy for my freshwater tank.?

I am trying to decide which fish to put in my 10 gallon tank (after it finishes cycling) I am new to this so I would like easy fish. I already have a betta which I would like to try in the community tank, but I can put him back in his bowl if he wont get along. I like potbellied mollies and platies but how many of each do I have to get. One website said 8, 3males 5 females. I dont have a lot of space being a 10 gallon tank. I love ghost shrimp, but will the mollies or platies eat them? Im not trying to breed them so I dont care if they eat the fry. I kind of want a frog but I heard they are difficult to keep alive. I will not be adding all of my fish at once. Just a few at a time. Any other suggestions?
