The problem with adding swordtails and platys is that you will get more fish. Even if you let nature take it's course, some of the fry will survive and you will be overstocked again.

You have room for more fish but you need to choose them wisely. I think tetras would be fine but not certain about the livebearers as I mentioned.

The clowns can grow pretty quickly so they could easily be 5 inches before you know it. Also, depending on what the sucker fish is, it may need to be rehomed too. Generally, it's ether a Chinese alga eater or a pleco. The CAEs get very aggressive as they get bigger and the plecos are very messy and get very big unless it's a dwarf variety.
