Clown Fish will outgrow your tank in a while and its a bit overstock

What kind of pleco is it? Some (eg. common plecos) can get HUGE.

As has been said already, clown loaches will outgrow the tank. I'm not sure about the red tail shark, but the others seem ok.

Hi scotfish!

I hate to say this, but in addition to the comments above, I don't think the red-tailed shark will do well in this setting. They need a lot of space and can also be quite aggressive. Other than the clown loaches and the shark, and as long as the pleco is one of the smaller types it looks like a nice tank My bias tends to be towards less types of fish in larger groups, but many people on this forum have the opposite quite successfully (more types in smaller groups).

How are all of the fish doing so far in this setup?

i was thinking somewhere along the lines of scotfish's tank setup and was wondering if the tank was compatible with BARBs?
