Stocking a 29 gallon

Question
Hello and thank you in advance for your expertise.  I have my first tropical tank--> 29 gal with an Aqua Clear filter for up to 50 gallons.  I put in there:
2 balloon mollies
2 lyretail mollies
6 tiger barbs
4 danios
and a pleco.  Do I need to thin the herd in order to add 2 more balloon mollies?  
Thank you thank you!
:) Lisa

Answer
Hi Lisa,

I would not add more mollies.  The pleco will make the tank dirty also.  Keep an eye on his growth, because they are very big poopers. :)

I answered one email already from you...just take the advice about doing water changes.  It's the best advice I can give you.
