Help identify these fish please!

[RJsTank]

So I got 4 of these guys from the fish store and he didn't have their name but knew they would be good peaceful schooling fish. Said they get to about silver dollar size and are yellow with a little orange. Currently in a 72 gallon bowfront community tank.
4 of these yellow guys
6 Rhomboocellatus Barbs
1 Hoplosternum littorale
1 Synodontis Eupterus
1 Black fin shark
1 Black Ghost Knife
1 Geophagus Surinamensis cichlid
1 German blue ram cichlid
1 Electric Blue Acara cichlid
1 Kribensis Cichlid

You are right! Thank you so much I have been trying to figure this out for weeks!

They also like brackish water

They really need brackish water and crushed coal as a PH and hardnesss buffer. Your other fish are not going to like that.

That's quite a group of fish... Pretty tank though

Just to add:

That black fin shark(Columbian) gets quite big at around 10-11 inches as an adult.

The black ghost knife will undoubtedly outgrow this tank. They reach a very large size. Around 16-18 inches long and make a 75g(4ft) look small. A single specimen really needs a 150g or more to have adequate space.

Agreed on orange chronicles.

Also the geophagus surinamensis is not actually that. It's going to be a different species within that complex, generally abalios or altifrons. They get pretty good sized and prefer to be in groups when young
