If this disease has no name yet, I claim naming it. I call it skinnying disease.

Good luck! Although you mentioned going back to doing water changes every two weeks... if you're overstocked, you really need to be doing water changes and gravel vacs more often than that; I'd say at least once a week.

erk!!!
sorry your shark died but ur tank is massivley overstocked...
If I'm correct it's just about 40 gallons. This means...
5angels-don't fit
5 mollies- will fit, I suggest rehoming at least 2
2 pepper corys-will fit but should put at least 1 more
3 something corys- corys are usuually small so should fit
1 keyhole cichlid-have no idea, but have a feeling it won't fit
2 bolivian rams-I believe they would fit, I suggest rehoming at least 1
2 platys-would fit
5 neons-would fit, but add at least 1 more
4 harlequins-I'm guessing they can fit
1 silver shark-I don't think it fits
2 red dwarfs- should fit, I suggest rehoming
5 silver tips-should fit
2 zebra danios-need to be in groups of 6, I suggest rehoming
1 guppy-fits
4 glowlights-should fit
2 plecs-don't fit as I'm guessing they're sailfins or commons
not sure about loaches
My advice:
rehome the
plecs, a group of tetras, a couple of mollies, cherry barbs, the pakistani loaches, keyhole cichlid,angels, at least 1 dwarf, and silver shark.
All these fish, tank is EXTREMELY overstocked, causing lotsa waste, producing ammonia, and lots of diseases, and with delicate fish taht are susceptible to diseases, such as tetras and dwarf, you have a high chance of ending up with sick/dead fish.
