Havent seen you on in a while. If you want a male female mix i would only go for 1 male 2 females or you will get overrun with fry.

You could stuff 6 or 7 platies into a tiny tank like that but you would never see any surviving fry. There would just be too much predatory pressure to ever find fry. I favor a light stocking in my livebearer tanks because I enjoy finding a few fry now and then. It is just one of the things that gives me some pleasure, I don't really know why.

You could have 8 Pygmy corys or 6 cherry shrimp (they will breed like crazy so you might need to fine somewhere that will buy/take the shrimp) would both work
