Depends on your setup. If you are not having any problems with your water quality and your animals are flurishing you should be OK. Make sure you have a powerhead making waves on the surface, this will increase your tanks capacity to handle more fish.

It definitely will be, those are gonna get big, except the clown, actually the snowflake is kinda almost pushing the limit by itself, if you have lr and ls, you may be able to go up to 1 inch of fish per 2 gallons, if not, I would say 1 inch per 5 gallons, this is just a general rule of thumb, but fairly accurate
