I have the following fish I need to sell them but I don't know what there worth....

African cichlid 6" "yellow lab" is what I'm told they are referred as

Flowerhorn 5"

Clown loach 4"

Firemouth cichlid 4"

Pleco 6"

Information on where to sale them would be great too...
 
Some pet stores will buy them. Call up some pet stores and ask them. I sold fish to two different pet stores before and if I remember right they gave me half as much as they sold the fish. Western Gardens gave me money. They used to sell fish but not anymore. This one pet store called Pets & Such actually gives credit instead of money for fish. You can use it to buy things.
 
Not much.

What kind of Pleco? If you don't know it's probably a common/sailfin type which you'll struggle to give away let alone sell. The Clown Loach is in a similar boat, as is the yellow Lab cichlid. All of these can be picked up for next to nothing complete with tank on sites like craigslist and gumtree. The Firemouth isn't worth much either.

If the Flowerhorn has good markings it can go for a bit of cash, but only to another FH fan, so would need to be sold through an FH forum or club.
 
unless they are bred to show they are usually not worth much unless you find someone who is collecting the specific species you have. the clown loach may go for twenty bux or so. pleco probably nothing cause they are pretty common and get huge and messy. the rest i don't know. some flowerhorns are worth quite a bit but it will depend on its markings and he ugly lump head it has, the bigger the better.
 
Those are all common types and not especially valuable. Some people will not buy fish from the general public since there is no guarantee that the fish have not been exposed to disease or stress from inadequate tank cleaning and under or overfeeding.

Your best solution, IMO, would be to see if you could give them away to the local fish store or in the newspaper.
