I think you could add about 5 more, two males, three females. Then your tank would be nicely stocked. If you think you have good enough filtration, you may be able to add a few cories.

Swordtails do get large, 3 might be pushing it. I'd be careful with frequent water changes and keep an eye on the params. I wouldn't go with more than 3 though.
