Thanks for looking into it. Maybe some others will chime in with their experience.

There are freshwater nerites for sure, but I have never owned them so that research is up to you.
Blue rams are just another name for german blue rams. They are the same thing. Electric blue rams on the other hand are bright blue over their whole body. If you do 2 schools of tetra, my advice is to do rummynose/cardinal with a tetra that compliments their red good like pristella, lemon, or black neon tetra.

Water quality issue? In what sense?
My LFS used to carry them, but not anymore. Now they just have black mystery snails. I asked them to order some for me, so we shall see.
Ok, wasn't sure if I missed something there. EBRs are crazy looking, but I may like BR/GRRs a little more. I already have started stocking the tank with CTs, so RNTs might be out of the picture. My LFS has some Juliis, so when the time comes I may just stock the tank with 6-8 or those.
I'll check out the other tetras you mentioned.

I have noticed that these fish seem to be pretty popular for 29 gallons; a bunch of threads with very similar stocking

Sounds like a nice variety. Thanks for sharing. Very similar to what I'm looking at doing. Please share some pics!
