I have a 60-gallon tank and I'm trying to figure out if I can get a couple more fish or if I'm at capacity. Currently, the tank has plenty of live rock, 8 fish (blue damsel, cleaner wrasse, clownfish, dragon goby, Banggai cardinal, firefish, royal gramma, flasher wrasse), 5 hermit crabs, 10 small snails, and 2 turbo snails). I'm adding a few corals too. Any feedback?
 
Sounds like you have a good variety of fish already. Not sure what you would want to add?
 
Those are fairly small fish in the grand scheme of things, but the swim room may be starting to become ‘traffic jammed’ (stress?) I think a lot depends on what you want to add.
 
In my 16 gallon biocube (10 gallons after rock displacement) I have 12 corals (4 torches, GSP, hammer, zoa, palys, duncan, 3 acans), 5 fish (yellow watchman goby, banggai cardnial, royal gramma, clownfish, six-line wrasse), 2 shrimp (blood, skunk cleaner), 7 or 8 snails (astrea turbo trochus), 10 or so hermits, and a conch.

You've got plenty of space left!
