Sorry to say but Goldfish and Tropical Fish (Cardinal Tetra and Checkerboard Cichlids) are not compatbile. They might last for a while, but won't live to the fullest with the heat on the goldfish. I say pick one of the other. If I were you, I would pick the Checkerboard Cichlids and Cardinals!
i just got a pair of the checkerboards cichlids... really beautiful shimmers and colors... kinda hrd to really appreciate throug cam... what temp do u keep the water? the reason i ask is goldfish are cold water fish and u have them with tropicals. nice tank anyways
The goldfish will eat your neons, and the tropicals will die or the goldfish will die depending on which temperature you are using.

Checkerboard cichlids need HIGH temps, Goldfish need low! You must have taken care of this by now though...

I love checkerboards.We just got some more in our shop but I never se tham mature as we sell them before they get a chance to grow to adult size.

THEY ALMOST LOOK LIKE GOLDFISH? I thought all cichlid fish are agressive to other fish?

@anthonymovies4 No, the Dwarf Cichlids are very peaceful, but can bully each other. Which is fun to see! It is totally natural
