blue Gouramis 4

Tri Color Shark 1

if that sounds like a lot dont worry i no for shore the tank is the right size apart from the algae eating fish im not puting any more in there and after there in there the tank will still not be over stocked but it will be geting near to it so after the algae eating fish im not geting any more ...........oh and the fish i have its been over year and they all get along theres no fighting or attacking they are happy ........................as for typ of algae i dont no just the stuff that grews on the glass and the gravel
 
Because you have the shark in there, things like siamese algae eaters are not an option. I personaly think you probably don't have room for more fish (though without knowing what size the tank is, I couldn't possibly say). If anything, a single BRISTLENOSE pleco could do the job. I think you'd be better off with an algae scraper though.
 
thanks for the info if any one ells have any other typs i could look into is good as welll
