I don't feel I know enough about the character of zebra loaches to advise for tank mates on them. If they are really peaceful, then a small group of pearl/lace gouramis would look good in that tank (1 male only). I know this is not A fish, but several- but they do look stunning. Or a gold/opaline/blue gourami.

Are you looking for a group of centre peice fish or just a single one 
?
?
im more looking for a single one but its more centerpiece typ fish is realy what this is for thats why i want to get one that will grew big but still be happy with the size of the tank cuz most peepl seem intrested to see a bigger fish i hope i kind find one thats good when i do i will get rid of the shark cuz so far he has not attacked any thing and theres lots of hideing placers for the other fish but i do want to return it when i do i may be able to get the new fish free cuz the manager is a friend and he gave the shark to me free to start with (oh if its a realy intresting looking fish that will only be happy if there are 2 if theres room i would buy 2)thanks for all the surgestions so far 
................................oh and i have anuther big tank that has only gouramis in it they look cool but i have alot all ready oh and i no about how they can kill each other if theres to many males but i have had no truble with 3 male blues and 2 male moon lights and 3 females) oh and im willing to pay a fair bit for this fish if it looks realy nice and is what im looking for

If you've already got your gourami quote filled, I'd go with The-Wolf's suggestion, or some other peaceful New World cichlid (but nothing that gets territorial at the bottom, obviously, because the corys are there).
i took a look at the festivums typ fish wolf surgested http
/aqualandpetsplus.com/Cichlid,%20American%20Medium.htm but they seem a little lacking in color they look nice but i think i will see if i can find some thing a bit brighter first ...................oh and the tank i have has real plants in it i found with the gouramis they would kill any liveing plants in there tank so i should add some thing that wont destroy plants i dont mind them eating the plants a little but the gouramis up root and bite throo every thing in 2 days .......oh how big of a fish would go okay in this sort of a tank?

A severum will be far too agressive for your tank.
right okay i wont get then..... well any more surgestions?one thing that sounds intresting about the severum i thort was that it sounds smart cuz it say it seems to Recognize peepl and swimms to meet them dose any one no of other fish like this 
dose any one no of other fish like this all cichlids do, mostly its because they're hungry.
my red devils follow me around the room in their tank always begging for food.
but yeah severums are meant to be a more peaceful cichlid. thats not exactly true, i had a male one about 6-7" that i sold last saturday, i got £30 for him but he was very aggressive and attacked all my other fish, even the devils. so they are alot more aggresive than what people make them out to be.
