I have 2 amazon swords and 3 java ferns with flourescent lighting is this good enough and can I get more plants
 
Your swords and ferns will be fine, so will other hearty plants like apongee, crypts, anubis, mosses, grasses. What are you looking to do with your tank?
 
Wasn't sure but I love the natural look so if you think the plants I have and the ones you mentioned would be fine that's what I'll go with
 
The type of lighting you have will determine what type of plants will grow sucessfully in your tank. Also do you dose any ferts and do you use root tabs on your swords? Swords are very heavy root feeders as are crypts and both benefit from substrate feeding. Plus if you have sand or gravel for your substrate you really need to use root tabs since those two substrates are inert.
