Welcome to AC!

Quite a few different species in that tank, some that shouldn't be together such as the Comet goldfish, any of the african cichlids and possibly the lobsters and crawfish.

Are you trying to set up a community tank with lots of colorful and compatible fish or are you just buying fish that you like?

Can you post your water test results since this tank has only been set up about a month or so? I'm not sure if this is your first ever aquarium or you have some experience.
