Assuming the tank has a substrate and a few rocks and it is filled to within 1" of the top it will be holding around 14-15 gal of water. A Convict Cichlid (Amatitlania nigrofasciata) grows to about 4". Allowing for the basic rule of '1inch of fish requires 1 gallon of water' the maximum number of fish would 3. However Convicts are not gregarious fish so one of the three would undoubtedly end up being picked on and killed. Therefore I would suggest that 2 fully grown Convict Cichlids would be the maximum number one could keep successfully in a nominal 20gal tank.

How many black moor goldfish can live in a 10 gallon aquarium PS this all that is available?

to be on the safe side, probably only one or two. if you overcrowd the tank with too many ornimants or fish then the fish will fight for space and the ammonia levels will become too high for the fish to live in. take into account that black moors are very delicate fish and too much ammonia can kill them within a few days. i hope this information helps you.
