I have a 29 gallon freshwater tank i have sand(black and white) a rock setup 2 fake plants then i have 2 fire mouths, 4 jack Dempsey's, 7 green terror, 1 gold nugget pleco, 2 corycats , 1 rainbow shark, 1 giant danio, and 1 jaguar
 
i guess it is ok but id be carefulo even though they are normal fish, fish usually bully eachother and once we had some fish and there was one fish who attacked alot of our other fish and would kill some of them so we had to separate him =[
 
is there any room for a fish in there? 29 gallons isn't that large, considering the amount of decorations you have. i have a 50 gallon and only like 2 plants and fish that have room to move.
 
9/10 u got a whole load of fish there get some piranhas i would definitely give u a 10 if u do have them, get a bigger tank
that one is too small for all those things ur putting in there
 
My rating is: Extremely overstocked.

Dont get me wrong, I like large cichlids... But they need to be housed properly.

Firemouths grow to about 6 inches. Dempseys grow to about 10 inches. Terrors grow to about 8 inches. Gold nugget, eh, dont know, your tank is still overstocked. If its a jaguar cichlid, thats another 16 inches of fish...

Seriously, the Dempseys will probably kill everything unless the Jaguar or Terror can catch up to it in growing speed. Then, the Jaguar wins hands down. Its one of the meanest cichlids.

A single Dempsey needs around 55 gallons. Yes, a SINGLE Dempsey. Yet you have 4 in something not even close to what they need. Not to mention everything else... The Jaguar will eventually need a 125-150 gallon tank. God. I could go on and on here. But Im going to hope someone else will take over for me.

But in the end, all these fish will die. You shouldnt have done this. This is probably the worst fish stocking Ive seen on here in a long time.
 
Those Jack Dempsey's can be aggressive! What's up using sand as a substrate? How are 'ya gonna "vacuum" that?
