hi there i would not have the clown loaches or the shark as will out grow your tank and will stunt there growth
the angels and rainbows will be ok the plec,tetras and guppys are fine but i would get at least get 5 platys and a pair of dwarf goarmi but it also depends on the filtration

Ya, sub a different bottom dweller for the clowns. They do best in bigger groups as they are very social fish, and they get to be 12" so they'd outgrow your tank. There are many other loach choices though, and tons of Corys that would do well.

I've got to agree, clown loaches grow to a hell of a size, in my old tank one of the four reached almost a foot! If you want a small(ish) bottom dweller go for either corydoras (schwartzi or julii being my recommendations) or the slightly bigger pictus catfish.
