It sounds like you may have stretched the capacity a little already.  It is my
experience that it is easier on the fish to keep the stocking levels down, and
more satisfying for me also, as the fish are healthier and more fun to watch.
I personally avoid livebearers with my dwarves, as I have had some occasional
trouble with fin-nipping, especially from swordtails.  IMHO, Aggies and Rams
are enough dwarves for one tank.
