Damsel might be some trouble but I like yellow clown goby
Also look into Masked Goby and Randall's Goby.

I looked up the gobies and they would look good in the tank. Would one of each be an OK fit for the tank or would two on one kind (the yellow clown looks the brightest) be better or would only one be best.

Mixing different species of clowns often doesn't work, especially in a smaller tank. Do you know what kind of clown you currently have? (or could you post a pic?)

Excellent! Then get another true perc, but it helps if you can find one that is much smaller if yours is already established.

This is looking like it will work for me. Another smaller clown and 2 yellow clown gobies and a cleaner shrimp.

I live in Cloverdale (Surrey). Are there places to buy new fish that are better than other places or ??

From my research it sounds like I should add fish one at a time. Would you recommend going with another clown first or with the gobies (I assume that I can add the two gobies together).

I agree. They may be small, but they are rather entertaining to watch.
Mine is always hanging out on everything in the tank including the glass.
