first question would be - how big is the tank?

I think you should rehome the columbian shark. Get can get up to 2 feet in length, and are actually brackish water fish as adults, meaning it'll require totally different water conditions than the rest of the fish in your stocking.

Aside from that, in a 5 foot tank, I don't see why you couldn't add the cories and clowns.

I hope you are aware that the Colombian Shark will need to go from freshwater, to brackish, to marine as it gets older.

I know little about CA cichlids, but I can tell you that Clown Loaches and Angelfish at the very least will not thrive in the same conditions. The loaches should be kept in a relatively very strong current setup (8-15x real water turnover per hour), which at least the Angels would not be happy with.

Mixing Clown Loaches with Corydoras is risky, the latter would normally be expected to be heavily outcompeted for food. Brochis would work much better, but having said that, 10+ Clown Loaches would do far better than sticking to just 6 so you can then add another small schooling group of catfish.
