This makes NO sence at all.. NO one can vote on this poll.... PLEASE dont' make another one... I did already answer you.. IN a 14 gal tank.. NONE Of what you have....
YOU need a 55 gal and bigger tank for these fish.. PERIOD... WHY would you get these fish for a such a small tank??
OK you are a KID and mom and dad said sure.. These fish wil die soon if not from bad water, then from the tank cycling as I am sure you did not run this tank for 30days before you added them in.. result, dead fish.. ONE of these cichlids is OVER the limit in this tank..
NO cichlids can stay in this tank for a long period of time.. THIS would be a good grow out tank but again for a very SHORT TIME.. maybe a month.. EITHER get a bigger tank or take these fish BACK and get a fish that does NOT get to big.. LIKE 2" or so.. Cichlids get to 12" and the ones you have are going to do 9" easily...
UNLESS mom and dad get you a bigger tank, please keep only guppies.tetras and other small fish in this size tank... Even a goldfish will out grow a 14 gal in a few months..
