Looking to see what i can still add to my 29g without crossing the line

curently have
1 wyoming white clown
1 sixline wrasse
1 firefish
2 skunk cleaners

looking to still add another clown and a yasha goby shrimp pair
Would this be going over the line. I have an eshopps x120 skimmer, and will be adding a fuge next summer one i finish my new sump

I'd be very cautious with a Yasha/Shrimp as your wrasse and clown have both already claimed the entire tank as their territory and will likely kill any docile additions after them. Just a heads up. A clown may be able to hold its own but it's best to add pairs together. You have two of the most aggressive fish in the hobby in there already in a relatively small space.
 
I've always heard about 8-10 gallons per fish as to not overcrowd ( have to remember they're growth potential.) I've also heard of a 2 gallons per inch of fish. Sp if a clown gets to 3" he would require 6 gallons comfortably himself, so 2 theoretically would take up 12 gallons etc.

In a small tank you don't want to overcrowd and have stressed fish. Just my .02
 
Those seem like good additions however make sure you get a male clownfish, two females will often fight

Should i look to add a clown of similar size or smaller. I used to have a yasha goby but sadly died. My parameters all checked out i dont think it was getting enough food.

Definitely smaller ideally one in a group with others so there is a low chance of it being the dominant one
