I have a 90 gallon reef tank. It has the following fish; 2 clowns, kole tang, flame angel, Midas bleeny, Lubbock wrasse, 3 pajama cardinals, purple fire fish, and a wheeler goby.

Can I add another wheeler goby or will they kill each other? If I add another goby can I add a pistol shrimp? Or should I add 2 pistol shrimp?
 
A second wheeler goby may or may not be fine. 2 males will likely fight, but in a 4' tank they should be able to each have their own territory.

I wouldn't add a second pistol shrimp, as they are pretty intolerant of each other.
 
If you get The opposite sex it would be fine. The female is much larger is in the male. The male will be smaller and look skinny at lest that's how Mine are.

It took me 2 try's to get it right.

I have a 3 feet long tank with 1 YWG, 1 orange spotted goby, 1 tiger pistol, 1 red banded pistol.

IME, you can have more than 1 pistol shrimp if you provide the right environment. My aquascape is set up with 2 distinct "islands". Each shrimp has its own area separated by a few inches of open sand "DMZ". Burrows are dug throughout each island and both are coexisting within the community.
Good luck.
