I'd go with some medium-sized schoolers like congo tetras. But be careful about overstocking. Tetras (and barbs for that matter) grow fast!

I am going to give away 3 out of the 4 plecs when the time comes and I will upgrade to a bigger tank, but I am absolutely not giving away the clown loaches, they are my favorite fish.

I am thinking of buying two zebras and a kuhli, just not sure about what the centre piece should be. I saw this shoal of mono-angels and then realised, they are brackish and grow to 25 cm.

I want to keep my clowns and other loaches, what other fish can I get?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the current stock you have just won't work

Clown loaches are slow growers, yes, but they reach sizes up to 12 inches (30 cm) and more. They're also schoolers. Common plecos get bigger than that and add a lot to the bioload. Zebra and kuhli loaches are both good choices, but they like to be in groups, so I'd suggest adding 2 more zebras and another kuhli.

You probably won't like it, but I strongly suggest that you return all of the clown loaches and 3 plecos. That would leave you with enough room for a nice centerpiece like an angel... what do you like? It's hard to make suggestions without knowing your taste

As for the schoolers, that'd depend on what you choose for your centerpiece aand how many of your current fish you return.

Hope that helped
