Tank specs:
12g
11 pounds of live rock
Aquaclear 20 with filter floss and carbon
200 gph power head
1 beautiful cheek goby (shrimp goby)
1 tiger pistol shrimp

Parameters:
Nitrate never leaves 30 no matter what 3 months+
Nitrites: 0
Specific gravity: 1.024<br />
PH: 8.0
(Religiously do 2 gallon water changes a week)

Goby and shrimp have been in tank with 5 (3 astrae 2 large nassarius) snails<br />
(Will be upgrading to 20 gallon within a year)

I wanna add some more life to the tank so was thinking a skunk cleaner for sure and then the question is either

Choice 1: pygmy wrasse and green clown goby
Choice 2: 1 ocellaris and pygmy wrasse or clown goby
Choice 3: pair of ocellaris (1 orange, 1 black)

Ocellaris would be bought at juveniles roughly an inch big the lfs always has a huge harem of them

And additionally if I upgraded to 20 could I do 4 fish or keep 3
 
What he said.

Getting a higher bioload won't help your trates at all. Get those down. I'd try a lot of 50% water changes. They should come down quickly enough.
Lols I was editing my post and ya for sure getting the nitrates down is first priority just like to plan ahead

Good...
Maybe a single clown. Why push it? Or a Pygmy wrasse. Not both. Once you have the 20, get the other. What's the hurry? It's not fair to the fish.
