if the pl*co is a comon it will get to big for the tank.pl*cos get about 12+ inches the others max around 2 inched. im not sure about the shrimp though. other wise i think that is ok. i wouldnt get any more fish though

I thought the skunk cleaner shrimp was salt water. I could be wrong on that but I KNOW coral can't go in a freshwater tank so I hope you weren't intending on adding any later. Also, I would skip the pleco, they're highly over-rated especially when they get older. Maybe get a couple of otocinclus instead, they'll do a better cleaning job anyway.
