What do you mean by 'big fish'? I don't think there's room in a 15gallon for anything bigger than what you have really.

really? how come? the platys are 1 inch each, so thats 3, and 2 guppys are 1 inch, and the others .5. thats 5.5 inches, and so thats still 9.5 gallons that can be filled.

i mean like a 3 inch fish maybe. not really big, but it just looks so empty.

You have to allow the fish you have room to grow. The platies will not stay at one inch, they will grow to between 2 and 3".
