the loaches will get to around 30cm, they are a bit big for that tank, the rest seems okay though.

How many gallons is the tank? The sharks will evntually kill each other, you should just have on of them (either a redtail or rainbow) but not both and certainly noit 4- they are highly territorial fish towards each other.
The clown loaches will most likely outgrow the tank, the platys, swordtails and guppys depend on how many males or females you have and the amount of gallons there are in the tank.

I would suggest that your 4ft tank is more than 30 gallons.

I have a 3ft tank , not too sure of width and depth (is a Vision 180, the bow fronted one) and that is 39 gallons.
