I was wondering whether all of these fish would live ok together or whether some of them would cause problems.

3 Corydoras, 2 Plecos, 3 Neons, 2 Platys, 2 Guppys, 2 Rasboras, 3 Glowlight Tetras, 3 Black Neons, 2 Gold Rams, 2 Silver Sharks, 1 Red Tail Shark, 2 Gourami's.

I have read on alot of sites that gold rams are peaceful, also i have read that silver sharks and red tail sharks are not really agressive but more territorial.

I already have all the fish stated above apart from the sharks, the rams and the gourami's, i am looking to add these fish into my tank as soon as possible providing they will not eat my smaller fish or cause any big problems.

I have a 4ft tank which is 141CM X 59CM X 45CM.

Thanks.
 
I am not sure what you mean by silver sharks? Bala sharks? Iridescent sharks? Either way not a good fish to go with the other small fish you plan on having. Either go with small fish like cories and small tetras like black neons or go with larger fish like large gouramies and larger sharks.
 
The sharks do not go and it also depends the Gourami type as some grow very large while others in the 3" area.
 
Yeah the red tailed sharks and (bala??) silver sharks won't get along too well either I wouldn't think...
 
Also Bala sharks would grow large and most likely eat the smaller fish and the guppies would also most likely be fin nipped by most of those fish I believe
 
i have rams with simalar size fish and they dont even seem bothered by them. there isnt any chasing involved or anything
 
What Kind of Pleco's are they? Cause if they are common's then in about 10 or 11 monthes, you're going to have two 7" to 10" (18cm to 25cm) long fish that just will cover the bottom of your tank with waste. I have one at 6" right now in my 4' and he does a good enough job putting enough waste on the substrate so you dont want two bigger ones in a tank this size. This is all of course unless you dont mind vacuuming the substrate and doing water changes every other day or possibly even every day when they get above 10" (25cm).
 
Rams are peaceful compared to most Cichlids but I had Rams in my community tank and they started tracking and whacking the smaller fish so I had to move them to my Cichlid tank then the Convicts started spanking them so it was kind of not knowing what tank they were best off in.
