I have a fluval 32 gallon flex saltwater tank. I currently have a midas blenny and clownfish in my tank. I eventually want to add a diamond goby. Could I get away with adding 4 fish to my tank and what would be good fish to go with my current stock? My tank is currently fowlr but I eventually want to add soft corals.

Avoid the Diamond Goby. These are not a good candidate for many reef tanks long term. Any Valenciennea species will eradicate any life from your sandbed. They also get active and large.

Look into amblyeleotris guttatus instead if you want the colour pattern but not the large or starvation prone side. These also pair with Pistol Shrimp unlike Valenciennea which does not.
 
I have 5 in my 32. I feel I could easily fit another one if I want, but my fish get along great and I dont want to take the chance of adding a bully.
