Recently upgraded to a 60 cube. In terms of fish I currently have:

-2 clowns
-a purple firefish
-a high fin red barred goby
-a Midas blenny

how much more would I be able to add?
I was hoping to add a mandarin and a coral beauty and maybe a royal gramma or some kind of fairy wrasse. would this be too much? I’m still new to saltwater and haven’t quite gotten a hand on stocking rules yet.
 
2-3 small fish and a few coral
Remember , with rocks you have about 48 usable gallons
 
You might be able to add one of those four options. I'm not sure of the tank's dimensions, but there might not be enough room for a coral beauty to be happy. I'd say add the mandarin if you have an established tank with lots of copepods (or can get one that will eat frozen foods) or the Royal Gramma. Wrasses are great if you have a lid or else they'll go carpet surfing.
 
I don't like dwarf angels or fairy wrasses for 2 foot cubes. The gramma should be fine. The mandarin, if you have a fuge and a mature pile of rock.
