Im pretty sure its overstocked right now since the albino shark and pleco grow large. If you must put fish in maybe more cory cats or a non schooling small fish. Be sure to do more frequent water changes due to the extra waste being produced which leads to ammonia,nitrite,nitrate.
Good luck

rosies need 5+ schools and 30g/120l+ tanks. get it some friends of the same species and get it a bigger tank. the shark will need a 30g/120l when young, 50g/200l when older. the cories need a 4+ school, and the pleco needs a 30g+ tank. you should move all of them to a 50g, get 4 more rosy barbs, get 2 more cories, then you could have a few livebearers, like mollies, platies, guppies, or swordtails. in the 10g, you could put 6 small schooling fish, like neons or harlequins, along with 3 otoclincus and a cherry shrimp, or 3 guppies and 2 platies and 3 otos and a cherry shrimp. live plants are best. none of the fish you currently have can stay in the 10g except the cories, but they are active and prefer more space.

NONE! Your tank is already overstocked!
