If these fish are pretty much the same size, then there should not be any problems for a while.
Remember that the Knife gets REALLY BIG, and will ultimately need a much larger tank.
Clown Loaches also will need something over 90 gallons.
Yoyos will be fine in a 90, and there will be room for other fish that get to about the same size as the Yoyos.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.

Happy fish keeping!

Loaches in general (and yoyos in particular) can be kind of boisterous. My only worry is that they might irritate the knife and it would retaliate. I've no experience of them though so if you don't think it's likely to do that then I don't see a problem.
