Ok, I'm thinkins about adding the following stock to my tank when it's done cycling. Any ideas?

1 Clown Goby, Yellow
1 firefish
1 Clown Goby, Citrinis
1 Tomato Clownfish

Will that work?

I currently have one reg. clownfish, 5 snails, 5 hermits!

No tomato with the other clown in that small of a tank. I would only pick one type of yellow clown goby, and maybe go with something like a Circus (White Tiger) goby as your second clown goby type. Firefish will probably be spooked by the current clown, if you want a dartfish that isn't as timid as the red/purple I would go with a Zebra bar goby (firefish). I have 3 in my tank and they are out most of the time and are not spooked as easily.

Here is what a Zebra Bar goby looks like.

And a circus goby.

Possibly the scissortail goby as well for a dartfish. Those are probably the only 2 I would go with in that size tank as far as dartfish go.

Gobies to choose from:
Yellow Clown
Green Clown
Panda Clown (difficult fish to keep, expensive)
Circus Clown (Black Barred Convict Goby)
Yasha Goby (expensive, difficult to acclimate, but if you get past the first week it is an awesome fish)
Neon Goby
Yellow Line Goby
Hybrid Cleaner Goby
Yellow Watchman Goby
Signal Goby (4 wheel or Twinspot Goby)
Randall's Goby
Red Banded Hi Fin Goby
Court Jester Goby
Hector's Goby

Other fish:
Glass Cardinal (Blue-Streak Cardinal)
Geometric Pygmy Hawk

Just to name a few.. ;)
 
Signal Goby (4 wheel or Twinspot Goby)
This goby, as well as some of the others listed, require a somewhat large well established sandbed for food. Also this one does better in pairs. Point is, make sure you look up each one's requirements so you'll get one that will thrive in your tank layout.
I second the clown advice as the Tomato will dominate the percula you already have.
Good luck with your list, and add them slowly.
