Ideally, you need to increase the zebra danios to about 6 as they prefer to be in groups.
Cories, also prefer to be kept in groups, so need to add at least another one.
Zebra Danios are notorious fin nippers so I'd keep a close eye on them when it comes to your Guppies. It might even be worth removing the guppies and replacing them with something different.
I'm afraid the Clown Loaches also prefer to be kept in groups of at least 3 and they will grow far too big for your tank. They can reach up to 12" and are also very active so need plenty of swimming space.
What other fish are you interested in? This may help people give you a better idea of what is suitable and what is not.

Yeah i agree with stang1, some of your fish must be in group to be happy.
