maybe one fish. one that is small and will stay that way. it isnt exactly 6g. with all the equipment, lr, ls, you are probably working with four. you can retrofit lights for hardy low light corals.

Agree that one small fish would work. Maybe a royal gramma, or a firefish.

best advice would be
bigger tank
for that size tank, i'd say a firefish, damsel or chromis, you neeeeeeeed a fish that will not grow larger than 2 inches, and that is even pushing the limits of a 6 gal,
caution, 6 gal.s are very difficult, you need to stay on top of them at all times, test constantly and do maintenence as discovered, don't wait and say i'll get to it later, a day or even a half-day wiht any probs(no matter how small) could very well mean the diff. between success and fataliity
HTH AND GOOD LUCK

the main thing is try to make it as stable as possible. what are the temperatures while in the office?????you can fit 2-13w pc retrofit. or/and a minimite light and make it a reef. since it is small i suggest small frequent water changes. so have a bucket of water with the same temp as the tank. try 1 pajama cardinal or a 1 firefish. or just some inverts they are just as interesting.
