Woah, hold up there.

Is it fully cycled?

That's too many fish all in that tank, and some of them I would not suggest.

Minnows need cooler water than the other fish.

Danios need more room to swim around in, IMO.

One dwarf gourami might be ok.

Bottom feeders don't "clean up", they need food of their own in the form of pellets and live or frozen foods.

I would suggest corydoras, though, because they are very fun to watch. However, if you insist against them, the shrimp shoudl be ok.

You might want to try livebearers. Neons might work, thought they might hurt the gourami or get bullied by it (or neither).

If you are going to cycle with fish. One or two livebearers. I would say two guppies or platies would be ok.
