unfortunately you have some rather big fish already mixed in there.

Clown loaches - these guys can get around 4" long and like to be kept together in groups

Red tailed sharks - again, 4" may be aggresive towards other fish - I've never dealt with them to be honest

Pleco - depending on the type of pleco it could be anything from 3" to over 1ft long when it's fully grown! what type of pleco is it?

Also, Cory cats like to be in groups bigger than you have.

How long have you had your tank setup? is it cycled? do you know your water paremeters? (pH, nitrite, ammonia, nitrate etc)

SORRY WE DO NOT KNOW OUR WATER PARAMETERS AS WE HAVE ONLY HAD THE TANK SET UP FOR TWO MONTHS ALSO AGAIN UNSURE OF THE TYPE OF PLECY WE HAVE IT IS BLACK IS THIS IS ANY HELP?

unfortunately the colour of your plec doesn't really help - a lot of plecos are black/brown. Does he have any markings at all or is he just solid colour?

as for the water parameters - take a sample of your water to the fish store. Most fish stores are happy to test the water for you.
