I got an 8 inch Senegal from a friend of mine yesterday when his tank cracked, I have 2 hi fin plecos, 1 is around 12 inches and the other one around 7 inches. 2 four line pimodella around 7 inches 5 four inch clown loaches. A five inch African dwarf frog and two 6 inch flower horns, everyone is getting along completely peacefully and no fin nipping or anything, I know the Senegal could potentially eat the clown loaches down the road. But other then that is the Senegal in danger with the other fish?? I don't know a lot about these incredible fish yet .
Sorry For being a noob and thanks in advance

You're probably alright most fish leave clowns alone for some reason just keep an eye on him

the plecos are a potential danger to the senegal because of how they will attack the bichir for it's slime coat, causing the senegal to die.
 
ditch the plecos and the flowerhorns. As said earlier, the plecos will eat the slime coat of the bichir while the flowerhorn will the kill the bichir. The clown loaches will be easy food for the bichir too.
 
Make sure to listen to everyone saying to get rid of the pleco, losing a beautiful fish like a poly to something as simple as stocking choice is a real shame. Corys work well for the smaller upper jaw species at least while the polys are still smaller. As for CL they're great, but my sen ate a few so make sure they're large enough.
