Has my obsession with getting new fish crowded my tank?

I have a 15 gallon tank, with like 5-6 baby snails that just came from a couple live plants I got. I am fairly new to all this. In my tank, along with the snails, I have one clown pleco, 5 (previously 6) mickey mouse platys, 2 lyretail dalmation mollies, 2 green corys, and 3 albino corys which I got yesterday. I feel like I may have too much going on but I don’t have another tank to split them up or anything. Also I think one of my mollie’s might be pregnant but I’m not too sure, as I am fairly new to other fish (I’ve only ever had bettas up until a couple months ago). I’ve had my betta (in a separate 5 gallon) since october so I only really know some things about the other fish I have. I love buying new fish but I am worried I’m crowding my 15 gallon tank.

P.S, (obviously) I am stopping myself, I won’t be putting anymore fish in this tank lol

So yesterday I got 3 lyretail dalmation mollies. I named the whitest one Domino, and the darkest one Apollo, these are the 2 that stick close together. My 3rd one (white belly/chest) Mitsubishi, tends to sit alone. Are the 2 that stick together mating? (or preparing to?). Should I get a 4th fish so Mitsubishi isn’t alone? (Last picture is Mitsubishi).
