I do not see why not. As long as you have plans for all the kids.

The gourami in your stocking plan will help with population control. I usually do 1m to 2-3f as a livebearer ratio. The swordtails are too big of a fish for your 15g so if you don't already have them I would cross them off the list. And what is the lyretail? I know of several fish with that in the name. Otherwise, looks pretty good to me.
