So I'll add my stocking list and picture. I want to add few tiny more fish. Please help me out. Nothing crazy expressive but something with color.

With that many tangs I’d leave it. Most of those guys look rather large and established so it’s likely you’ll just push the stocking a bit too far.
What sort of fish are you after? There’s many small colourful fish out there but some of them have surprisingly high bioloads.

When you think of how many fish you can successfully house there are many factors to consider including physical space to move around, hiding spaces, and most important; nutrient export capacity. Keep in mind these assume compatibility between fish. If you are able to maintain your desired feeding levels and keep nutrients low then go ahead and add more fish so long as there is physical space to do so. I personally love an "overstocked" aquarium as it is full of life and color. I fully understand why traditional stocking-level recommendations exist but I have learned in 35 years in the hobby that everyone's aquarium and abilities are different, so you must do what works best for you.
