In my 14 gallon biocube reef I only have a ocellaris.(my tank has been up 1 1/2 years) I would like to have a few more fish in the tank but I am unsure of how many fish that can be housed comfortably in 14 gallons. Some tell me that I can keep 4 nano fish, and the others tell me that I am pushing it with the one fish I already have.
I need some recommendations on some good nano fish.

I was thinking of adding a yellow watchman goby, waiting 3 months, then make my final addition which would be a bicolor psuedo.

I think your going to get alot of different comments regarding this. I tend to push my tanks limit and its fine. As long as you keep up with water changes and all that fun stuff!
YWG are great fish, go for it!

I would stay away from the pseudo they need room and tend to get nasty. At most I would say the goby is fine but after that you're pretty much done.

I do weekly water changes. I guess about 15-20%. I dont have a nano skimmer. I have activated carbon and Phosban though. I think I will only go with a yellow watchman if I get another fish. I have been reading on the pseudos and their aggression in small tanks.

I'd really like to have another clown, but I didn't think that my ocellaris would tolerate another clown in his/her tank. How would I go about adding another clown?
Royal Grammas can be kept in 14 gallons? I thought they needed at least 30. Otherwise I would've gotten one along time ago.

You can do one Royal Gramma in a 14 gallon. Get a small one. My friend had one in a 10. Your aquascape looks good enough for one.

With regards to a clown, yours is very established so it's probably a female already. Get a False Percula that is SLIGHTLY smaller than it and make sure it hasn't changed gender yet. I got lucky with this size difference. Not sure if it's works out all the time though.
