I have a 150 gallon tank a 90 gallon tank a 75 gallon tank and a 29 gallon tank. I only keep Malawi cichlids. The 29 gallon tank is for freshly striped fry and that is it.
A 29 gallon tank is way too small to put adult cichlids of any kind in. Not only will you have problems with aggression but it will be difficult to maintain water quality which will lead to disease. The absolute minimum you should have is a 55 gallon, and that is only if you stick with a few small docile fish.

I did some research, posted this thread on here and now i know. i am thinking of some shell dwellers which stay pretty small. thanks for the info though! :)
