How big is the tank?Which cichlids?
A week isn't really enough to cycle a tank and cory's won't go with many types of cichlids.

1st I don't care about cycling it's fine it's done I know people who have been fine who didn't even cycle also I want Malawi cichlids

If you don't care about cycling go ahead and put them all in and see which survive.

If you want your fish to survive take a little time to learn about cycling the tank. There are many stickies that'll help you with that it's not that bad. It's better doing things right the first time.

Malawi cichlids require specific water conditions to thrive, if you just put them in a new tank they won't be there for long!
There are ways to do a fish in cycle if you really can't wait.
