Besides bioload, room is a large issue when adding for fish. IE They fish like their space.

he already answered that question.
I agree, you need to worry about the adult sizes of the fish before you consider adding something when they are all babies, it may appear that they are doing well, but will eventually outgrow the system.

my clown isnt getting any bigger, nor is my bicolor..how big is the adult size for a lawnmower blenny and a orange spot goby
edit
i have figured out their adult size and it comes to 26 gallons following the 1/2 inch per gallon rule

Any 'x inch' per gallon rule is pretty bogus, and I have NEVER heard of something as much as a 1/2" per gallon! Not in SW certainly. Usually at best 1" per 5 gallons.
This is far more than filtration.Fish that are cramped together become stressed, regardless of water quality. They need space. IMO, be happy with the balance you have. Adding more is likely to cause trouble.
