Need help with stocking ideas for fresh water aquarium!! And a few quick questions :)?

Hey guys I have a 29 gallon tank and I have right now 1 dwarf gourami and 2 dwarf cory catfish...I do plan on upping the numbers for them!! Anyway I am thinking this for my over all stock

1 dwarf honey gourami

4-5 cory catfish

5 cherry shrimp to start with

6-9 ( some kind of tetra ) peaceful and pretty coloration

I also want so get a moss ball I don't know much about them but I know I dot want it to float so how can I get it to the bottom and not have it floating and moving around the tank??

And my last question is how can I vacuum with my cherry shrimp in the tank, I don't want to suck them up

Update: Right now I have

1 dwarf honey gourami

2 dwarf cory catfish

What i want in my tank is

-1dwarf honey gourami

-6-9 schooling fish I want pretty and peaceful tetras!

And then I want to up the number of cory catfish up to 4 or 5

And I want about 5 cherry shrimp to start with

Just making this clear^^^!!!

    I think that'd be good. It may be a bit crowded so you'll need good filtration and good weekly water changes. If the schooling fish is small like neon tetras, not like sarpaes or black skirts, then I'd be good.

    That sounds purfect!

    You can still use your gravel hose, just watch where your pumping!

    Your one of the few people I've seen on here that actually know what there doing! Good luck!
