I currently have:
2 pictus cat fish
3 silver tip tetras
1 male guppy
3 gold dust mollies 1M 2F
3 swordtails 1F.. 2 juveniles
5 juvenile mollies ( will rehome once closer to adult size)
1 BN pleco 2 ½ inches

I was wondering what else can I add to the tank?

its a planted tank with a 406 fluval filter
 
If your planning on keeping the pictus in this tank then I'd say your are already fully stocked. Once they reach adult size their bioload is huge, comparable to a common goldfish of the same size.
 
The pictus needs to be in a large group (at least 4-6) and also needs lots of free swimming space.

OK.. I understand the situation with the pictus. for now they stay
.. if that makes me a bad fish keeper so be it..

I rehomed my 2 Pearl gouramis today.. what other types of fish can I add?
 
Tetras need to be in a school of 8, so you might consider finishing that school before purchasing another fish. Until you upgrade, in order to give the pictus more room, I would not add any other fish.
 
well every one will be happy to know the pictus cat are being rehomed right now... over the last 24 hours they ate 9 of my fish :/
I got some new ones at a lfs earlier .. once I saq the catfish tribg to eat a new fish I said enough was enough!!!

so my stock now is :
3 albino cories
2 swordtails 1m1f
1 female guppy
3 silver tip tetras
2 juvenile mollies
2 rams

_^^^^ as you can tell its a lot different stock ^^^
