fill up on cories, danios & tetra. these are all shoaling fish that need to be kept in numbers of at LEAST 6 (preferably 10).

the tank will seem a lot more active and your fish will be a lot happier

okay.. so i think you should go without the common plec.. get a bulldog or Bn.
cories do better is 3 or more, same with the congos. im not too sure how the parrotfish will do with the congos.

its all working well now had a little hitch when added congos but works fine now will a brisle nose withstand an attack by the parrot fish tho because she is 100% evil & full of personality

the Bn should in all honesty be able to hold its own, normally they kepp out of the way of the other fish so all should be fine!

its just at the mo every time the pleco move she attacks him

Okay, you have some problems here. First you are overstocked.

Parrot fish will get to 8 inches
Angel fish will grow 6-8 inches
Silver shark over 12 inches (is a schooling fish as well and needs to be with others)
Common Pleco over 12 inches

You need to get re-home the common pleco and the silver shark for certain. They do not belong in this tank at all.

IMO the parrot fish needs a bigger tank and is likely aggressive because the habitat is unsuitable. A bigger tank will lessen their anxiety and aggression.

Here is a good stocking

One Angel Fish
6 Corys
6-7 congo tetras
6 danios
whiptail
Another whiptail or a bristlenose pleco that tops out at 5-6 inches.
