Can I add 1 more fish?

Ok I have a 45 gallon tank, its the first tank ive ever had. Everything is going fine on my tank, the only problem I have ever had with it is I had a small opening on the top of my tank that my Diamond Goby jumped out of. Needless to say he didnt make it, I really want to get another 1 but the problem is I have added fish since he died. He was the second fish I put in the tank. Right now I have 3 green chromis, a clown fish, a firefish, a baby snowflake eel (which I plan on have a bigger tank for eventualy when she gets bigger), a pigmy angel, 4 turbo snails, 5 hermit crabs, 1 chocolate chip starfish...and thats it haha. I wanted to know if it would be ok for me to get anohter diamond goby, or if that would make my tank overloaded...or if my tank is already overloaded...I have received mixed opinions from the local fish stores, so I anted more advice. Sorry for the long post, and looking forward to the comments.

I would say your a little overloaded, if you get rid of the snowflake eel soon you will have plenty of room for a couple more fish .

And if the rest of the fish are too small im sure your eel wouldnt mind eating them

I was also wondering what is the biggest worry if you do overload your tank? Also the snowflake eel is the biggest wuss in my tank haha, the Pygmy anegl bullies him all the time, and so did the Goby.

Biggest worrys, more aggresion between the fish
more chance of disease
more water changes etc. needed
