Maybe so. I think I have room for 1 more though.
 
Agreed that bio-load you're fairly maxed out, if you're still thinking you can put another one, a Pajama cardinal is peaceful, but the Gramma may kick the snot out of him.
 
I agree you are full on stocking for a tank that size. I would get more coral or more cuc.
 
You're full at a clownfish pair in a 22 gal. Very possible that once that pair matures, they claim the whole tank, especially if laying eggs.

exactly. 20 gallons doesn't leave a whole lot of room should one fish decide it doesn't like its roomates anymore.
start planning your 40gallon upgrade instead of adding fish.
