Great little loach that stays fairly small at around 4 inches. Depending what you already have in your tank (be careful not to overstock) you could get 4-5 for sure.

Is your tank cycled yet Buzzy? If not, and you haven't tested yet, you should wait before getting either angels or loaches.

Is it a 29 or a 30? You have said it was both, or am I misreading?
A 30 is 36"X12"X16" and a 29 is 30"X12"X18". A 30 would be more suitable due to the larger footprint.
