Just got this 3 gallon all in one. It only has a pistol shrimp pair which is fine as is because I’m planning on making this more of a coral tank however I want to add one more fish if possible. Not two just one tiny one. I was thinking about small clown goby or a small tail spot. Any problems? Or is it too risky in such a small system? Thanks

By pistol shrimp pair, do you mean a paired pistol shrimp and the yellow watchman goby in the picture?

Yeah sorry about that, that is what I meant. A ywg and pistol shrimp!
 
It looks like it was started with live rock from either an established system or real ocean live rock meaning you already have a copepod population. Ive had a Greissenger Goby in a tank about the same size for a couple months and with nightly phyto dosing the pod population is very high even with him. They don't eat nearly as many pods as a dragonet so that would be a choice. Only downside would be the price tag in America. Also, I haven't kept one with another Goby but i doubt they'd fight since they have different diets and don't look alike to each other. If you're considering adding a Greissenger Goby just look into how agressive they may be towards each other first because although both are docile I haven't kept two Gobies together in such a small tank. Here's mine:
