Paul, I feel really bad for saying this but you have a couple of unsuitable fish in your tank.
Clown Loaches are best kept in groups of 3 and have the potential to reach 12" so will need a bigger tank.
Your Pleco sounds like a Common or a Sailfin which can reach up to 18" and is better suited for a 5'+ tank.
Fighters are best kept in a tank on their own as they are a solitary fish. They shouldn't really be kept with Gouramis as they are both from the same family and are likely to fight. The fighter may also end up attacking your Guppies as they are similar looking and will see them as a threat. Tiger Barbs are also fin nippers so may end up attacking your fighter, Guppies and Gouramies.
Not sure about the sharks and Parrot fish but hope this info has helped.
