you could go with a small goby like a clown goby and be fine. Just make sure to do your water changes preferrably every week and you'll have nothing to worry about.
Clown gobies are awesome anyhow. Much more fun to watch than clownfish IMO.

put an anemone in there and a small pair of clowns and you will be fine they wont need room cause they wont stray from their anemone! just as long as the water stays good, if it starts to deteriorate then i would go with just one clown

Bad advise. An anemone would just die because of the amount of space and not required lighting and filteration would be reached. Also the clowns would be forced to host and anemone and forcing clown, or any fish, do host a coral or anemone is insaine. Clowns will host the anemone on their own when they feel like it. The worst thing for a clown/anemone keeper to do is the force their clowns to host anemone. Second off, the 6 gallon would also be too small for both clowns. A 6 gallon would also be too small for 1 clown once he/she reaches adult size.

agreed.
just about the only fish I would put into a 6 gallon is an extremely small goby... and only 1.

how old is your neice. If she is 7 yrs old getting her a saltwater tank may not be the greatest idea

i have a 5 gal tank, w/ lr, no sand, some sort of mushroom, some pulsing xenia, a brittle star, 3 hermits, and all the tiniest little snails that hitched in, and one oscellaris clown.
my fish is happy, he eats well, and he swims around checking for stuff on the rocks.
most importantly, i haven't had any problems so far, since august (i know it hasn't been too long, but so far all is well). my water parameters have been perfect.
it is kinda hard to care for. it will overheat quite easily, so i have to leave the lid open most of the time, since they keep the heat on in the dorms all the time in the winter, so the water evaporates quite quickly. i have to top it off at least once a day. it takes a lot of care. if she's immature, it might not be such a great idea.
