How many fish can I get?

Right now I have a heavily planted (thanks to last night's meeting) 29 gallon aquarium inhabited by 3 blue spotted sunfish, 2 black banded sunfish, 2 bumblebee catfish, one speckled madtom catfish all with maximum average lengths of about 1.5 inches, and two Siamese algae eaters with a maximum average length of about 4-5 inches. I was planning on adding two more black banded sunfish, one more blue spotted, and one more madtom. My question is, is this feasible or will it overload the tank? I don't have much recent (within the last 5 or 6 years) experience with small fish so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know of anywhere I could get these particular species without ordering them online, I'd like to avoid a shipping fee if possible.

Thanks,
Jordan

personally I think you are already overstocked.. maybe you should upgrade to a 55 or larger and then think about adding fish.. just my opinion, Kyle
