55 gal

I'm getting my 55 gal soon and I'm going to put my black ghost,5 rainbow fish, 3 or 4 mollies and my 4 zebra danios. I was going to get 3 or 4 more danios and was thinking about adding a pleco and getting rid of my algea eatters. What do you guys think? I know the black ghost will get big so I don't want to go crazy.

I would only get one danio and then get more kuhlis, as they really need at least three of their kind to be happy.
Finding a new home for the algae eaters would be a good idea. I'd stick with the smaller plecos (or maybe even a school of otos), since a common pleco will get pretty big for that tank.

Sir didn't mean get rid of 3 danios so you only have 1, but upping the school to 5 BTW.

I would try a Bristlenose or Clown pleco instead of a common - they are much smaller and even do more algae eating!
