I've had a 15 gallon tank for over a year and te water and everything is fine. I have 1 black Molly, 1 silver Molly, 5 neon tetras 1 mystery snail, a few ghost shrimp, and 1 orange crayfish and they all get along really good and I've had no problems they've all been together for about a month. I was wondering what would be good to add. I was thinking either a dwarf gourami, or a couple platies, or guppies, or mollies, and then add another school of tetras. Any ideas?

How big are your Mollies? Big females can hit 3" and some species hit 5".

Due to size and waste output, I typically recommend 30g or larger for Mollies.

So I would not add more Mollies.
If you stick with male Platies, you could add a couple. If your livebearers start breeding you could get overstocked very quickly and crash the tank.

Maybe add 2-3 more Neons ?

Or instead of Platies or Neons, if you have smooth gravel or smooth sand you could add a group of Coreys.
