So soon I plan on upgrading my 13.5 gallon tank to the water box 25 tank. I feel as if I’m capped out on livestock in my 13.5, right now I have a pair of clowns, a fire fish, a fire shrimp, pistol shrimp, a few snails, 2 anemones, and some coral. Everything is going good but I’ve avoided adding anything that would increase my bio load by a lot so I’ve decided to upgrade to a bigger tank. How many more fish could I add to a 25 gallon and what are some recommendations. Personally I would like to add around 3 more if possible. Right now some ideas I have are a pair of cardinalfish, bicolor blenny, pearly jawfish, maybe a royal gramma. Obviously I wouldn’t add all of those but those are some ideas I’m thinking on. Anything helps.
 
I don't know about number of fish, but I would suggest getting a shrimp goby to pair with your pistol shrimp. The appeal of them is their symbiotic relationship, most people don't have one without the other.
 
A wrasse, royal gramma, yellow tailed damsel, tail spot blenny. Pick three, I think all would work.
