for some reason I don't think the angel would be too "comfortable" in that living arrangement...rather small for all three, aggression will be increased and the angel will not come out on top.
A 29 is sometimes used for breeding pair of convicts.

Consider another jewel of a different sex or a bigger tank with bigger tank mates, as jewels can get very aggressive to smaller or similar sized fish and its own species of the same sex.
Rainbow Cichlids would probably be good in that size tank. I wanted Jewels, too, but then found out about their aggressive personalities. I was just lucky the girl at the fish store warned me instead of just selling it to me like most do.
u say it is aggresive but i have a paridise gourmie with it untill i get some more fish and i am goin to move it. and the jewel didnt show any aggresion to the pardise untill the pardise started attacking it but the pardise learned its lession and they are fine together now. p.s. sorry about the spelling
It could go either way, but your jewel and a convict would probably always fight (especially in a tank your size) and will definitely torment the firemouth. Both jewels and convicts need larger tank mates to keep the aggression down.
there are no certainties when it comes to compatibility but you have some good advice up above. My 2 cents? Don't get your heart set on the arrangement and be ready to make changes. What ever you end up doing, good luck!
thanks for all the advice guys. i just want to the pet store and bought a convict i would it will work out. it is little now so im hoping the jewel wont be to bad on it right now. as soon as the convict hit the water the jewel went at it. but the convict stode its own and didnt run away. and right now they are being fine together. so we will see only time will tell. and thanks again for everyones help.
