Fish suggestions for a 29 gal biocube

Hello all, new to marine tanks and looking for fish recommendations.

Just cycled my 29 gal biocube. About 25lbs of rock, about 1.5 inch live sand bed. I want it to be a coral tank primarily and I'm starting to get a few fish going first. Just added 2 black and white clowns 4 days ago. They seem to be doing well and are still adjusting to the light and current. Eating like pigs and I'm keeping a feeding schedule of twice a day, nothing they can't finish in 3-5 mins as recommended.

I'd like to add a few more fish, then let them sit for a while before adding cleaners and coral. I want to do all captive bred fish and aquacultured corals for environmental reasons. I gravitated towards liveaquaria.com and have these two ideas in mind. I've emailed the company but want your opinions too.

I like neon blue gobys. Was thinking of getting 4 of them, but concerned about them fighting since there will be more than 2. Not sure if they will make 2 bonded pairs in a small tank. Other thought is 2 neons and a court jester goby.

After my next fish addition, that will be it for fish. My plan will be to let the tank mature for a while with my fish bioload, then add cleaners once algae appears and start adding coral.

So, if you were me which option would you go with? I can provide more details about my tank if needed. Thank you.
 
I like the idea of all aquacultured. I personally would do the two clowns you already have, 2 neon gobies, and either a striped fang blenny or a blackline fang blenny (Meiacanthus grammistes or M. nigrofasciatus).
