Hi all!!!!
How is everyone doing? well, i was wondring if my fish community is ok, or is it too overstocked, or something else wrong with it? ..well I have a 29 gallon tank, there are 3 platys, 4 Tiger Barbs, 1 Albino Corydora, and 1 Blue Gourami. Is this mix good? and can i still get more fish? well please give me your advice on my fish tank. Thanks.

You are at about capacity for a 29 gallon tank once everyone reaches adult size.  The cory though would appreciate some company though, they really are schooling fish.  So if you do frequent water changes and have good filtration consider adding a couple more cories.

I agree - you would do well to add about 3 more Corydoras. They are quite fun to watch in groups too.

Yeah, more cories. And watch the gourami too. They can get to be a good 6"-8" and get nasty. 29 gallons might have only enough surface "territory" to support one of them, and at full grown, he could harass any other surface feeder and not let them eat.

...or the 4 tiger barbs could be a pain in the butt to the gourami and others....
