Hello a.c. friends i am currently establishing a new tank and picked up a pair of geophagus jurapari as well as a pair of german blue rams i plan on putting at least a pair of balloon rams with a peacock eel and a crayfish of some sort.. i would love to hear ur expert advice on my potential tank thanx for reading...

I did some research for you.
Here are the links for you to read about what you bought.

your geophagus jurapari will grow to 10", i am afraid your tank is too small.
I would suggest you re-home these.
Most crayfish are agressive or semi aggressive apparently, you might want to stay away from them in a 29 gallons they grow too big anyway.

And of course did you cycle your tank before stocking it?

My one cent advise, research, read and ask the forum before buying.
and:
SMALL TANKS = SMALL FISHES (everyone here will tell you that and it works... )
