1.5 in Albino Tiger Barb - Get to 3" and should be in a school of 6 or more = 18"
1.75 in Blind Cave Fish - Get to 3" and showld be in a school of 3 or more = 9"
1.25 in Boeseman's Rainbowfish - Get to 4"
1.25 in Boeseman's Rainbowfish
1.25 in Boeseman's Rainbowfish = 12" for all your rainbowfish
1 in Colored Tetra
1 in Colored Tetra - Do you mean fruit or painted? They probably need to be in a school too but I don't know...
.75 in Cory Catfish - Most species get to 2" or more and should be kept in groups of at least 3 = 6"
3 in Elephant Nose = These get to nearly 10" (I assume you mean regular elephantnose, not elephantnose cichlid...)
.5 in Crab
1.50 in Kribensis Cichlid - Get to 4"
1.50 in Kribensis Cichlid = 8" total
4 in Iridescent Shark - These can get to 24" (if it's the same kind as what I found)

Personally, I don't think there's anything else that can go in that tank. I assume you have some plans for when they grow? You should concentrate on fulfilling the schools of tetras (not the painted ones though :( ) and the cories before looking for anything new.

Sorry :/
 
Yes everything is right, and my shark won't grow anymore, he's almost four years old, my albino tiger barb is almost 3 and a half years old, my blind cave fish is just as old as the albino tiger barb, i've had the boeseman's for about a year and a half
 
No, i still wouldn't add anything to that tank

K thank you, and if my iredescent shark died then would I be able to put some blue rams in?
No. The priority should still be on filling the schools of barbs and cory cats. As it is if your fish have stayed that size for that long, they may be starting to get stunted. I've only had my boesemani since April and it's already grown significantly :/

If you want rams, get a separate 10g or larger.
