Hello as the title suggest would it be enough room to house a male and female jewel cichlid? I know they are aggressive so they would be alone except for some driftwood.
Is a 29 gallon sufficient for 2 Jewels alone?

Crap,everyone knows they like to get it going, what would be the big problem,is it to small ,would they kill each other?
A 29 is plenty! But just two is more likely to end up as one, than a group of 4 or 6. Or, two with a few other fish.
What kind of other fish are you suggesting or just maybe 3 females to 2 males?I can't think of any other fish their size that will not be killed. Do you mean some kind of dither fish?
I have had two red jewels in a 20 gal. for a few months. They get along fine. Currently they are spawning every few weeks. I have a lot of fry.
I remove the fry after 10 days. The male and female swim together and start the egg laying process alll over again. So ... 29 gal. should be fine.
