Answer:
- Your biggest problem is with your livebearers (Mollies, Guppies, Platies, Swordtails). Swordtails can sometimes interbreed with Platys and/or Mollies so I would not add them in. - Any livebearer offspring will be eaten up by just about every fish in that tank. So it's best to stick with all male livebearers - Algae eater is not specific. You are probably referring to a Pleco, but there are different kinds of Plecos ranging from just a few inches to over 2 feet in length. Common Plecos (the one most people refer to) need something like a 100 gallon+ tank. Plecos also do not "clean" anything. Anything they eat is converted to fish poop. They will NOT do tank maintenance for you. If anything they just add to the bioload of the tank and it's more stuff for you to clean. - Mollies, Guppies, Platies, Snails, Shrimp, Neon Tetras, and Zebra Danios all work together. - Shrimp fry will be eaten by the fish if they can get a hold of them. - "since I have a very big aquarium" is misleading. How big is your aquarium? In my mind a big aquarium is at least 200 gallons+ in size. Depending on the species of algae eater you choose you will end up needing anything from a 55 gallon to a 150 gallon to house these fish together. - There are many other fish compatible with the ones you have chosen. You're basically going for a peaceful tropical fish tank. Corydoras, Harlequin Rasboras, other peaceful shoalers such as Cardinal Tetras, Rummynose Tetras, Glass Catfish, etc. can all work. Dwarf/Honey Gouramis can also work. It comes down to tank size. ---> FYI Angels are not good for this tank. They are opportunistic hunters and adult Angelfish can make a tasty snack out of Neon Tetras.

I have a tropical tank and have found angel fish are a good addition to a community tank, mine has grown huge and it doesn't bully the little ones :) Also rosy barbs are great too and a great colour; I have a breeding pair and it's fun to watch them dart around the tank. Finally I would say gourami fish, they are non aggressive and come in awesome colours...
Shark, dolphins, specially blue whale.... They will enhance your site of aquarium
