It looks like a gibby plec, the 'algae eater'. Will grow up to 18". How big is your tank?

I'd add some more decor to your tank, personally. Up the number of congo tetra aswel.

definately a plec, maybe a leopard sailfin ?? Looks like one of the one's that gets really big

Yup I'd say you should have 6 congo's so get a few more. Really depends on the size of your tank and exactly what that plec is weatehr your overstocked or not. Probably not at present, but you may well need to consider re-homing the plec in which case you'd have plenty of room for some more fish.

thanks i think i will rehome a plec to a friend when they get bigger.

will get some more congos and tetras i think.

is a clown loach a good/bad move for this tank

the tank is a rio 180

clown loaches can get to around 12inches and need to be in groups of about 6+ so probably not!!
