Sounds good except make it 4-5 loaches, they like groups.

ok but will I not be over stocked??

 

[Lager]

I don't think so. You will have the shark, some corys and a dozen platys/mollys. It will be fine.

and the pearl gourami was thinking of adding one more pearl gourami maybe a male......

 

[Lager]

That will still be fine. You will be a bit bottom heavy, but it should work.

cool thank you so much for all your help

You definitely won't be overstocked. 55 gallons in a big tank, especially for mollies and cories. I think you could easily put the additional cories, all the mollies you planned to put in, the shark, and the loaches without having any problems with overstocking. I tend to overstock a little, but I'd probably even add another "showcase" fish or two. I'd be tempted to put in a pair of angels. But thats just me.
