You've got a weird selection of mixed fish..try going for a species tank containing only cichlids etc..

Most of the fish there like to shoal or prefer to be kept in groups of 5 or more such as the zebra loaches,
tiger barbs, kuhli loaches, odessa barbs, mollys, angels etc..

I wouldn't reccomend keeping cichlids with the other fish already in your tank as they are mostly agressive
and when they get bigger they might start attacking and eating the smaller fish in your tank.

hope this helped a bit.

keyhole, kribensis, angel, festivum & molly in one tank. Other cichlids in 2nd tank. Barbs can go in either tank but might nip the angel.
Don't waste your time with a jewel cichlid coz they are nasty and will cause problems to small or peaceful cichlids.
Sharks, loaches, catfish can go in either tank.
Maybe get rid of the yellow malawi and if you want rams then get rid of the kribensis.
