I think those fish will fit in a 29 if they are small. Monitor the ammonia closely... you will probably need to use a conditioner and/or large water changes until the filter is fully conditioned.
A bowl of sand is fine. However, if you are planning to use copper, you should choose fine silica sand (e.g., "play sand") instead of aragonite. For hypo, aragonite is fine.
