How many fish - under current conditions

I have a 15g high tank that has been running since before Christmas. You can see from my profile below what I have in the tank now (LR, etc.). The fish now seem great. All swimming and getting along. Water parameters are fine too: Ammonia - 0ppm, Nitrite - 0ppm, Nitrate - 25ppm. With the exception of some snails and hermits, this is a FOWLR tank. I do a 2 gallon water change every other week. Occasionally (once a week give or take), I may also siphon out about 1/2 gal to remove the Coral Beauty poop. I was at Petco today and saw these great looking Pajama Cardinals at a good price, $10.99 ea. I thought it would be great to have two of those. The seem peaceful and don't need alot of swimming room. Am I really max. out on fish in my tank under the current conditions? No way to add these two little cardinals? For the record, I'm switching to a 50g in the spring. Maybe I should just wait, but at that price, it's hard. If I did get the cardinals now, when I got the 50g, I would probably only add 3 blue-green chromis and a cleaner shrimp.

Thanks for your input.
