too much for a tank that size, no clown loaches, no red tail black shark. Those wont do well. YOu still run into over crowding even without those fish. Chose between angels and kribs, then chose between angels and neons. It would also be good to choose between the bushy nose pleco and the flying fox
Clown loaches get too big.
The shark will frankly annihilate the flying foxes, and i'm not sure mor ethan one flying fox is too great an idea, but I may be wrong.
You could do:
6 bleeding hearts
1 bushy nose
1 flying fox OR 1 shark
10 rasboras
6 corydoras
2 kribs - but be prepared for the possibility of aggression (it really depends on the individual kribs)
10 neons OR 2 angels (these are not equivalent in terms of swim space or bioload, but the angels will eat the neons)
This would give you scope for adding to the school of bleeding hearts and rasboras.
Make sure the tank has plenty of hiding places.
Hope this helps

Do you have all of these already? In an earlier post you said you will take some back, so I'm assuming that is what you have?
If so, I think it will be fine. But, keep an eye on the shark to make sure he/she doesn't terrorize the cories or Kribs. If it does, take it back. If not, then it can stay.
With that stocking, your tank is full and you should not add anything else. I'd skip the angels.
If you don't already have those, then here is my suggestion:
8 neons
8 bleeding hearts
1 bushy-nosed
8 rasboras
8 corydoras
2 kribs
1 angelfish
4-6 otocinclus
Leave the schooling fish at 8 (even the cories), take off the shark, and add an angelfish. Take off the flying foxes and replace with 4-6 Otocinclus.
