This is a 25gal? That might be a bit too packed with 3 nano fish (sixline, tailspot and the last goby) + clowns + hawkfish + jawfish. I think the additional clown and the Tailspot would be just about right for a 25, but I'd honestly consider holding off on another clown until you upgrade tanks, as the clown pair might decide to go homicidal. Tailspot, yasha and the court jester would probably be a nice addition--keep an eye on the sixline.

yeah, i agree that i seems kind of packed. I thought that if i “layered” it out a bit with some low water column fish, mid water column, and top water column i could have more. Hoping to upgrade by Christmas but not sure yet

In general, the only really active fish on your list is the sixline, but there are risks throughout your stocking list. The BSJ and Yasha and/or twinspot goby might decide that there can only be one sand cave dweller. The clowns may decide they want some couples' privacy and go after all the other fish. The sixline could lose its mind and attack everything, starting with their eyes. The hawkfish in theory would be OK, but you just never know with small fish like a court jester that might fit into its mouth--on that note, I saw a picture recently of a firefish being swallowed by a jawfish, so these things can happen. Could all work out fine, or could become the Thunderdome.
