You need to pick which fish you want. The rosys can get over 5 inches. You do need a few more to make them happier. I found rosys are not as mean to fish as other barbs, but in a 20 with only 2, I suppose they could be. I dont think your pleco is getting after your sharks.

Your irradescent sharks are nervous, and eventually get large. So you need to decide, a pack of barbs, or your irr sharks to stay. If you want peace, I wouldn't keep those 2 barbs in with the sharks in that tank..but that is my opinion.
