Suggestion for next fish?

In a few weeks, or whenever I can get my pH controlled I plan on adding two more fish. I currently have a mated pair of clowns in a 55 gallon and a bunch of snails and all the stuff that lives in a DSB. Any thoughts on what to get next. I want my 5th and final fish to be either a Flame Angel, Coral Beauty, or 6 line wrasse. What should my next set of fish be? I was thinking a pair of gobies with a pistol shrimp, but I am open for suggestions.

PS: Scratch the thing on the 6 Line I just read they eat bristle worms.

My vote would be for one of the fairy wrasses once all is stable. I think they're overlooked for both their personality and beauty.
Here's mine:

Fairy wrasses. Awesome suggestion.
Orange perc clowns? If you are choosing between a flame and a coral beauty, why not go with the coral beauty if you already have orange clowns? The purple would be striking.

Are you looking for color or personality? Reason I ask is I enjoy watching my Lawnmower Blenny... lots of personality. I also enjoy the sixline... sleek swimmer and a pretty fish. They do eat bristle worms as well as many other things off the rocks...

Hi, I bought one that is identical to yours. What is the proper name for this one. I have seen it at one fish store as a blueside wrasse, and another store blue fairy wrasse. Lesley

I've always liked royal grammas becuase of their purple and yellow. I think they would be pretty in your 55, too!

We added a scooter blenny to our tank a few weeks ago, and we love it! Its very active, as he is always "scooting" around the tank. I know you didn't ask about this, but you could add a scooter in addition to any of the fish you are asking about. And a scooter bleeny is usually under 10 bucks.

Thanks for all the replies.
Jump-
The fairy wrasses look great. Do you know if you can keep them in pairs? I would like to get a pair of whatever I get next.
Steel-
Will firefish gobies pair up with a pistol shrimp?
Royal-
I had cardinals back in the day. I liked them but am looking for something else.
Reef-
I am looking for a fish with personality and color. You know the best of both worlds.
Dacia-
The grammas don't look that bad, but like I said earlier I would like to add a pair of whatever I get. However this may not be an option.
Jp-
I like the look of the blenny but my SO isn't so keen, bummer.
Any other suggestions?

If you are looking for a pair, the firefish gobies have my vote. I think their coloring is awesome. I don't know how much of a personality they have though.

the red firefish may have no personality but go to a purple firefish and he has all kinds of personality and so colorfull. My vote is for purple firefish.
