I have a 110 litre tank and I want some new fish, would it be overcrowded with them?

4 Apistogramma Agazzii
6 Mickey Mouse Platy
6 Red Wag Platys
And would they go with 6 zebra danios and 4 serpae tetras.
 
The agazzii can get fairly large and territorial. They like to claim lots of space and may get a bit nippy if they don't have enough room.

That being the case, if you add any more fish, I would not add any more than 6 danios, or the tetra's. The tetra's may do better in a group of 6 or more though.
 
Apistos are primarily bottom dwelling and I would recommend if you go with 4 that only one of those is male and the other three are female with enough caves for each of them to have small territories. They will eat any fry that your Platys may have.

They would NOT work with Serpaes - Serpaes are notorious fin nippers, up there with Tiger Barbs. Danios are very active and may bother the Apistos.

FYI, a spawning pair or group of Apistos can dominate a tank and drive anything else off. They don't make ideal community fish.
