Got my first big boy tank setup today, 29 gallons, now to impatiently wait for it to cycle so I can add some new friends, if anyone has any suggestions on what to stock I’m all ears 🙂 also how long for the bubbles to go away lol

If those are anubias, they should not be buried in the substraight or they will die.
Bubbles disappear within 1-2 days. Any plant with a rhizome needs to be adhered to rock, wood or decor using superglue GEL or fishing line and not buried. Stem plants benefit from using root tabs. API Master Freshwater Test Kit comes very recommended for testing water parameters. Limit the lights to 8hrs a day. Weekly water changes of 10-15%. Plant many more plants to reduce potential algae. Looks great so far-good luck to you!
Stocking reccommendation:
Some guppies (easy for beginners. make sure if you go for guppies to do a 1m:4f ratio or no males. Some males are super aggressive) maybe some cories, and I love my mystery snails and clown pleco. (Make sure if you go for a clown pleco to add wood, as it a important part of there diet)
Ultimately, these are just recommendations and you can stock however you think is right
