Too many fish. The blue tang will also have to be rehomed eventually as they get well over a foot long and love to swim so I think keeping one in such a small tank is really unfair at full size. 4 clowns may also be a problem but not guaranteed. Often times you can't have more than 1 pair of clowns in a tank anything less than enormous because they are so aggressive.

its weird i had the clown fish given to me. I had no choice but to take them or they would die. I put them in the tank they bumped heads mow they all hang out in the same anemone. weird
 
same goes for the blue tang, midas blenny and the wrasee was a last hope for them.
 
10 smaller fish in a 140 g isnt' too many imo. Curious though, why does your tank only look half full? More water would be more room to swim around.
 
Good job saving them. I'm pretty surprised the clowns don't fight, I've never heard of that. Guess you got lucky then haha. I'd try and rehome the blue tang once he hits like 8" just because I feel they like swimming far too much to be in anything less than a 5 foot long tank thats 3 feet deep (front to back). Of course everybody has their own opinion on that though. As long as he seems healthy and happy for now I'd say you can keep him for a while
