Those are serpae tetras, I think. Not good at scientific names! LOL
But if they are, then in a 37 ltr you should be able to add maybe a few pygmy cories or a few otos. That would work out to be about a 10-gal tank, and having 5 of those is already pretty stocked. You could get away with the pygmy cories or otos though, as they are small and don't create a lot of waste. Just keep up on the water changes and all.

I wouldn't add otos as they can be sensitive to water stats, so shouldn't really go in an overstocked tank. Also, if there is any doubt whatsoever about the health of your current fish and/or the quality of your water, you want to hold off with making additions.

There are a ton of kinds of fish that you could put with Serpae Tetra's but since Serpae's are bad fin nippers stay away from slow moving long-finned fish (i.e. gouramis, angel fish, congo tetras, etc.)

I suggest getting your water tested, then posting the results. That will also help with picking out fish.

Platies are gorgeous fish, some of my absolute favourites, but they do poo a fair bit, so I might hesitate to out them into a tank which is already pretty well fully stocked. Basically, they're greedy little pigs, platies are.
