First you need to sort out the stocking you have already
4xgouramis - what type?
2xswordtails
1xguppie
2xtin foil barb - get to big and need to be in shoals
1xred line torpedo barb - need to be in shoals of 6+
1x common plec - can get to 24" long so not suitable
2xclown loach - get 12"+ and need to be in groups
1x catfish - What type?
1x silver shark - get to big and need to be in shoals

gouramis...2x three spot
2x yellow ones??



catfish...dalmation got lots of spots??
catfish never comes out in the day ever...never see it.


what do you think?

as said you will need to get rid of a lot of fish before looking at more

 

[beamo76]

whys that? they all seem very happy.

because you wont be able to give them the conditions they need in yourtank. to keep tinfoils,clownloach,common plec, red line torpedo barbs , silver sharks , you would needd minimum 6ft plus tank

whys that? they all seem very happy.

Because the
2 tin foil barbs
1 common plec
2 clown loachs
1 silver shark

Will all grow to big.

Does the catfish look like this

If it does its a Synodontis euptera.

 

[beamo76]

yes thats the catfish.

 

[kizno1]

yes thats the catfish.

That will be fine in the tank then although they do get a little pushy with other bottom dwellers when they get big and might eat the guppies.
If you get rid of the
1xguppie
2xtin foil barb
1xred line torpedo barb
1x common plec
2x clown loachs
1x silver shark

You could go for something like
4 gouramis
6 swordtails (2m 4f)
1 Synodontis euptera
10 congo or emperor tetra or dwarf neon rainbowfish
2 blue acara (1m 1f)
3 BN plecs (1m 2f)

How that look?
