I am sorry to hear about your loss. My molly has lived with my three guppies. I am not sure about yours though. Where do you have your guppy right now.

Your tank is overstocked. you cannot add anything else to the tank and will have to do 50% water changes at least twice a week if you plan on keeping all your fish.

The most you could keep there (still overstocking) would be the three guppies, two preferibly.

also, you have to consider that guppies and mollies need swimming space, thus having a requirement of 10 gallons.

I'd advise you not to add anymore fish to your tank. 5g just can't hold a lot of fish.
If your guppy and molly are getting along, great, but that's all you can fit in there.

Bear in mind that Guppys and Mollies need at least a 10gal tank to swim around in. Sometime in the near future you will need to upgrade to 10gal.

In my past experience, swordtails go great with mollies.
