Two at the most. I have an Orchid Dotty and Perc in my 12 gallon. The tank is definitely fish full. I would go with the Orchid Dotty over the RG, awesome fish with great personality. See my sig for a pic of Inara our P. fridmani aka Orchid Dotty.

Man... now I'm sad lol. OK no royal gramma. The orchid dotty is a good suggestion. Does anyone have any other suggestions for super colourful fish that would suit my aquarium? Since I'm limited to only two fish I want them to be as colourful and interesting as possible without being too dificult to keep.
I may just end up doing a pair of clowns with different colours or patterns...but clowns are so cliche

 He is starting to pork up so when he gets to 1.75 inches I'll donate him to LFS and look at another open column fish, not a clown.

What kind of skimmer are you using? Are you using one at all???
How much live rock? What else you plan to put in your tank?? The fishes you recommend aren't that demanding on the bio load... I am sure you can get by with a clown, firefish, and dotty.... if you have a good skimmer and lots of live rock or even a refugium mod.... If you are down to two fish only... go with the clownfish and a purple firefish ... so you can have the best of both worlds.. seems like you like firefishes and PURPLE....

I'm not using a skimmer. Just plan on keeping a good eye on my parameters and doing weekly water changes. I have 13 pounds of extremely porous live rock right now and will be adding another 3-4 pounds when I find the right pieces. Might do a refugium mod down the road.
Other than the fish I will be keeping a variety of soft corals, and of course a CUC. I might put a cleaner shrimp in there as well. I do like purple...but for the most part I just really like super colourful fish. Since I'm so limited by the size of my tank I want it to be as colourful and eye catching as possible.

used to keep 2 clowns, 1 clown goby and an rg in my old aquapod.
No aggression from anyone in the year I had it. Used to do weekly 10% changes though, as I was new to reefing and found maintenance fun back then. RG is my FAVOURITE fish (got a harem of 3 right now), I would think that it's worth a try if you think you can keep up with water changes as that IS a lot of fish for a little tank. FYI, a dsb will do WONDERS on a smaller, heavily loaded system, not to mention help in the natural food supple (i.e. less feedings of nitrate rich foods from you).
