I have 29 gal tank and 3 mollies 3 platies 1 finger fish 1 pleco 1 shark 1 gouramis 2 goldfish. What can i add with them and also 3 clown loaches. Can i add guppies? Or i am thinking of getting another shark? What u advice me?
 
That tank is way overstocked as it is, because of the goldfish and shark, which really don't belong in the same tank. Goldfish are coldwater fish and don't live in the same temperature water as tropical fish. While they will not die, it is not good for them in the long run.
 
I fingerfish is a Mono i beleive. They do best in brackish water

one more for an overstocked tank with innapropriate stocking

I say get rid of the fingerfish (mono) the pleco, the shark and the goldfish.

Then maybe add a nice school of small tetras or rasboras
 
I do agree the goldfish need to go. They do not belong in a tank with tropical fish. The shark and the loaches should also go. You can get some yoyo loaches in place of clown loaches. They are active and very entertaining to watch. What kind of pleco? If it is a common pleco then you will need a much larger tank for a common pleco. If it is a dwarf pleco you should be fine.
