I have a 25L tank and was told that I can get three female mollies (pretty sure ones preggo), two male swordtails, three male guppies and a male fighter fish in there happily.

They all seem happy at the moment but I'm a bit worried that I've been led astray and the tank is too small.

Thoughts?
 
This is my tank for reference

Your tank is way overstocked, 25 liters is enough for 1 Betta or 3 male Guppies or a Mystery snail or some red cherry shrimp.

No you cant have Swords or Mollies in there and you really shouldn't keep the Betta with Guppies.
 
Just to clarify 25L is 6.6043 gallons right? my math may be wrong.
Anyway if so that tank is WAY overstocked, you can get a betta or something or chili rasboras but your limited under a ten gallon really. Especially with those livebearers.
 
Those live bearers will end up nipping the fins of the betta, so I would be taking all the fish back expect the betta, I promise you he will be super happy to have the tank to himself. I hope you cycled (nitrogen cycle) the tank before adding the fish? If not the ammonia and nitrites will spike in a mater of days and end up harming the fish.
