I'm done with the cycle and wanted to know if its alright to put 1 clown fish, a goby/shrimp pair. Of course not all at once but 1 at a time. The tank is a 5 gallon and wanted to know if its alright to put those three fish and shrimp in the tank. Also is it alright to just put one clown in a 5 gallon?

I wouldn’t do more than 1-2 fish with 2 being high. It’s only 5 gallons. You can do a clown and a shrimp if you want, you could also do a pair of small clowns. Or 1 clown and a goby. If you’re interested in corals also. I would recommend softies such as zoas/plays, leathers, GSP, mushrooms, Xenia, or pipe organ, until tanks matures a little more, then you can try out some LPS. Hope this helps!
