Dont see why not aslong as the convicts are not a breeding pair you shouldnt have any issues, like already stated all depends on the fish itself aswell 
Can 2 Convicts Live With a Jack Dempsey?

I've kept more than THAT in a 29g.....
.....just not permanently. Agree, if they pair up, they will kill everything in the tank
A 29 gallon will soon be a death trap for the JD if you get it now.
It would be better to wait until you get the 95 gal and then put all 3 in at the same time. A 29 gallon is a mere puddle compared to what they live in in nature, and the convicts now own it.
Not to be nit picky, but none of those fish you mention are South American.
JDs are from Mexico, part of North America, and convicts are from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, among other Central (North) American countries. I live in Panama the most southern country in Central (North) America, and Panamanians that I talk to, think of themselves as North Americans'. The most northern country in South America that borders North America, is Columbia.
Below is the type habitat JDs live in, in nature

Two of a gender is what he should be aiming for, espicially males... They get big enough to hold their own and wont breed together...
