What are the measurements of the tank? I come up with 1650mm or nearly 65" worth of fish. In any case, I'd work on your schools first before adding anything new... The cories should each have 6 of their own kind, and I think your clown loach would probably like a few friends of his own. shrugs Not sure if you can add anything else after that, but I'm sure someone else will give you some input. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

As can your gibbiceps pleco - i've seen ones 18" in size. I'd say you're pretty much stocked, or even overstocked. Are you planning to get a larger tank later on? If not, i'd seriously consider getting rid of the gibbiceps, the clown loach and the shark.
