more fish for a 55

So I have a pair of clows, a 6-line, and a purple fire fish

I would like to add a couple of more fish. Does anyone know of some that are very active and like be out instead of hidding in my rockwork? Also I'll be upgrading to a 75 in about a year hopefully and will probably add a Kole Tang after the upgrade so they have to be compatable.

This 55 is a reef tank with inverts. Lots of rock and hidding places. So what do you think I need?
 
Fairy and flasher wrasses, gobies, blennies, hawkfish (if no shrimp), anthias (one of the more peaceful species), basslets, cardinalfish, and depending on your corals dwarf angels (they would be my first suggestion depending on your corals). BUT remove the sixline ASAP.
 
what is the problem with the 6line....He has been fine for over a month now.

I currently have no shrimp but I plan on getting a cleaner shrimp for the tank
 
He will be aggressive, expecially to new fish, and probably to your firefish down the road. A lot of the little peaceful fish (those best suited for a 55) would get harassed by a sixline, and plus you can keep more wrasses like the fairy and flasher wrasses if you remove the sixline.
 
Thanks for the info I'll think about it. I was looking at maybe some Bangii Cardinals. Also maybe a bleeny. Does anyone have some info on green clown gobies?
