OK because of so many great answers I separated the gold fish from the cichlids. And what about the corydora does he go with the goldfish or do I keep him with the texans? And the peacock which of the 2 tanks does he go in. I think my texans are having a love affair...they are always together. I know I have a lot of questions but I messed it all up and need help so please try to answer as much as you can , I really appreciated it. Now also at the end of my plastic plants the metal stem is starting to rust. The texans eat all the real plants so I went with plastic. Can the rust hurt the fish? should I remove them? the water is now quite good and clearing up nice.

The gold fishes tail will regrow in time. It will take a while though. If you think the Texas cichlids are interested in breeding, Iwould get every other fish out of the way. They will get rather mean during breeding and attack anything else in the tank including a cory or a peacock.
The rust from your plant stem shouldn't harm the fish, but the first chance you get replace those with all plastic plants made for tanks. You will want to stick with plants that are made for fish tanks to prevent getting plastics or dyes that may be harmful to your fish into the tank.
Sounds like you're doing a good job, keep up the good work and keep asking questions, that's the best way to learn.

As the Texans mature, they will attack any other fish around them. The cory can go with the goldfish, and should have a few friends since it is a schooling fish. The peacock doesn't fit either tank.
