Around how many fish/inverts could I fit into a nuvo 16 safely/comfortably?

I would like to add:

1 clown
1 shrimp goby and pair
1 royal gramma
1 other fish ( nano wrasse? Cherub angel? Tailspot blenny? Other goby type?)
1 cleaner shrimp
1 peppermint shrimp or porcelain crab

Currently I have:

1 emerald crab

You should be good with a small clown. The shrimp and goby pair and the peppermint shrimp. Maybe a scooter blenny or yellow clown goby too.

A cherub needs a little bigger tank and the gramma could become aggressive in that size.

With a heavy bioload in a 16, you will have to feed often and have good filtration so it will be difficult to balance.

I have a 28 gallon and just have two clowns and a fire goby. Then i have a peppermint, emerald crab and mandarin goby with some snails and crabs.

A bonded pair of firefish would be nice.

Any other purple-ish fish you know of?? I love the colors of the royal gramma.

I would prefer to have 2-3 actual "swimming fish" and just one goby :)

ok so ive decided to ditch the clown... i fell like everyone has clowns in their tanks.

so far all for certain of is a shrimp goby w/ his pistol shrimp companion :)

im open for suggestions, looking for a couple fish that will add color and life to the top half of the aquarium
 
anybody have any experience with sixline wrasses?

i know they are quite aggressive.. but is it a little exagerated? they are for sure my favorite fish

Had a six line in my 28g NanoCube and it never messed with anyone. Was the last fish added. Even fine with my super timid helfrichi. I wouldn't recommend it though unless you have a very easy aqua scape to remove and replace if it has to come out. For every positive six line story there are probably 50 negative ones. My new six line lives alone in my frag tank.

I used to have a six line and a pair of gorgeous onyx percula clowns in the nuvo 16 when I had it. But that's pretty much it for fish of you want a 6 line. It killed the firefish and a royal gramma I added as a fourth fish lol. But those three fish are well worth keeping If I have to do It again
