You need to get rid of most of those fish as soon as possible..

I stunted a bunch of my fish, and 95% of them died within a year.

If you don't get rid of most of those fish within a few months you are making a huge mistake.

You can basically keep 2 maybe 3 cichlids in that tank.

Definitely not the flowerhorns or the plecos.

Maybe a blood parrot and 2 jellybeans?
Maybe the 2 jack dempseys?

You need to figure something out very fast though.
 
buy a big water tub (rubbermaid tub in america?), cheap filter and clone it with your current one and a heater. Slap a few decorations in for cover. That'll buy you a little time (and give you a quarantine tank for the future)
