I'm new to tropicals though have kept goldfish for years
I have a Fluval Edge with currently 2 male & 3 female guppies.
I don't want to overstock, so is there anything else I could get, or should I leave as is?
 
I would leave as it is now. Technically it is slightly overstocked with the 1 inch of fish per gallon rule but slight overstocking can be ok as long as your keep up with water changes.

My only other concern from what you have described is that you should have 1 male per 2-3 females with guppies. Otherwise the females can get stressed, you'll probably observe this is due time.
It may be ok as every guppy is different!
 
I think you're ok as you are, but in a few months, the chances are you'll be hearing the pitter-patter of tiny fins.......
 
Thank you for the replies.
Looks like one of the females is already pregnant as she's quite fat.
I do have an old 2ft tank I could move fry to if any survive.
I can see me asking for more advice pretty soon when I want to upgrade, although I love my Edge for looks, may just keep a few male guppies in that in the future
I've lost a couple of days already reading this forum, so many beautiful tanks to admire, & great advice given
