I agree the bottom of your tank has plenty of room. You could add a small school of Otos or Cories or maybe a bristlenose Pleco or Khuli Loaches. The fish "count" so to speak doesn't always dictate how many fish you can have. You want to make sure there is enough room at the levels they swim. You could probably add the bottom swimmers and still add the 1 female molly and maybe another platie or two.
One thing to consider is that I heard Mollies and Guppies don't get along. I've never had experience with it, but I've heard from multiple sources.
Hope that helps,
Curtis

I would go with 2 Khuil Loaches, 4 Cories, 6 Tetras, more Mollies, Brisenose Pleco, Otos. Not all of these, but you can probally pick 1 to 3

3 angel, 3 bolivian rams, 2 kuhli loaches, 10 serpae, 5 corys, 5, black widows, black ghost knife, 2 bristlenose and 2 snails.

Heaps of fish is exactly right. You are totaly overstocked. You need to retun all of them that I marked NOT OK, asap, before they get too big.
no im not returning them the pet store said that they would be alright together, the tank is 4ft and once the fish get to big for the tank i sell them back to the shop and get double the amount i payed for them back. its my little plan
ps i also clean it out everyday 10% then on wednsday i do a 25% water change and a 50% every 2nd week.

your water can be perfect and your fish will still be unhealthy. being that crowded puts a lot of stress on every fish in there, and so they won't grow right. they will also be more susceptible to diseases. plus, don't expect to get market value for the fish you sell back, the money you get probably won't be enough to cover your cost of the fish during the time you have them (initial price paid, food, disease treatment, time and energy spent cleaning up after them, loss of other fish).
That black ghost knife is going to get HUGE!
I've seen 10" ones, and I heard they get bigger than that.
Isn't the black ghost knife kinda aggressive / carnivorous?

Sadly, your little plan is flawed. In too small of a tank or an overcrowded tank those fish will be stunted and will not grow to their full size and their health will be affected. Just curious, how long have you been working your little plan?
