Assuming you want a tropical freshwater community:
In a 14 gallon tank, you will want small peaceful fish in the 1-2.5″ range. This can include tetras, platies, guppies, danios, minnows, dwarf gouramis, otocinclus catfish, dwarf cory cats, or bettas (one male or a few females). You can also look into invertebrates such as ghost or cherry shrimp, african dwarf frogs, or an apple snail.
It is good to keep in mind when stocking the tank the inch of fish per gallon rule. Your tank is 14 gallons, which means , yo can have a maximum of 14 inches of fish, as long as the fish are small and peaceful.
So here is an example of a community you could have:
1 male betta (2 inches)
6 white cloud mountain minnows (9inches)
1 golden apple snail (2-3 inches)
=13-14 inches of fish.
or you could do:
1 dwarf gourami (2 inches)
7 neon tetras (7 inches)
3 otocinclus catfish (4.5 inches)
= 13.5 inches of fish.
Also, you should not add all the fish at once. Run your tank for a day and then add one or two fish. The tank will then build up beneficial bacteria over the next month and go through the nitrogen cycle. After this is completed and the tank is free of amonia and nitrites you can add the rest of the fish. you can also cycle the tank without fish:
