Any suggestion

Take a look at a royal gramma, colorful and peaceful. I would say you are maxed out after adding.

you are close to max in that tank. Maybe a firefish goby or 2, or 1 azure(or springeri) damsel, but the clowns might fight any new inhabitants given the small size

I will pass on the damsel i have reed they are jerk

They are and trust me I know but azures and yellow tails are much more peaceful. I’ve had 6 fish in a 32 gallon for two years, 2 clowns, wrasse, diamond watchman goby, royal gramma and a yellow tail damsel without any aggression issues and added a tailspot about a year ago and had no problems. A splash of blue in the tank is a bonus.

I have a 15G waterbox and here's what I was looking into:
- Small wrasses - like a Pink Streaked Wrasse
- Neon Goby
- Firefish (lots of different kinds)

I'd personally skip on the royal gramma - they're well known for disease, sometimes end up hiding a lot, and can also sometimes turn out to be real jerks!

Ok and what about a firefish goby and my current gold head goby do they will be fine together my current lfs have a realy small pygmy angel fish around 3/4 inch long

Unsure of temperament but if you do firefish you're going to want a lid.

 

[Etienne 97]

I know i have one but with my bubble magus it does not fit anymore so i will make a custom one

My old Bangaii cardinalfish was more ornery and combative than my springeri damsel, who gets along great with everyone. Just throwing a Hector's goby into the hat of fish names. Mine was a model citizen and I'd catch it snacking on hair algae, to boot.

I agree re not stocking much heavier tho

 

[Etienne 97]

Ok am gonna think about that type of damsel and what about the tiny size pygmy angel am thinking to upgrade my setup for a 50, 75 or a 90 gallon in maybe less than a year

 

[ScottJ]

Tank is pretty small for an angle, don't you think? Live Aquaria recommends 55 gal for a pygmy.

 

[Etienne 97]

Ok that why i was asking the angle at my lfs is around 3/4 inch long so maybe he will be able to live in my current setup but if not i will wait until i have a bigger tank

They should be fine together. Angel fish is too big for a 25G.

Meicanthus (fang blennies). They are open swimmers, not cryptic like the Royal gramma, not coral snackers, not hiders like the firefish will be with a pair of clowns. They are easy feeders and can defend themselves yet don’t pick on anyone. I have a canary yellow one with a forked tail and a black and white striped one with a yellow head. He is everyone’s favorite fish who sees my 30 G water box. They are also tank bred, which is important to me, and not expensive.
