I have a 60 gallon tank with the following dimensions, 48in long, 24 wide, 36 tall

10 Tiger Barbs
1 Rainbow shark (Bad decision... didn't think they were that aggressive...)
1 Fathead minnow (Hey the county fair was there... at least he has a nice home now however dangerous he was)
1 Bamboo Shrimp

I'm just wondering if I could add 2 fishes, Kuhli loaches and / or Hatchet Fish

I have a sand substrate and I read the loaches are great to turn the sand around, since I don't want any snails. And I just like Hatchet Fish because they look funny looking at the top of the tank all day long.

I'm just wondering if there'll be any compatibility problems

If they do work, I'm guessing 3 loaches and 6 hatchet fishes (Or too much?)
 
Loaches would be a bad idea with the shark.

Hatchets could work, but they're known to jump when startled. Do you have a cover?

ya i have a cover , but if i make enough spots, would it be ok to have loaches? Or would teh shark claim those caves/pipes/pots etc too?
