thinking of adding some more critters to my 24g nano. I already have 2 clown and a bassel. I had my heart set on at least 2 shrimp and a goby possibly a mandirin. But I am no expert so I would like some advice

I beleive your tank is a bit small to maintain a mandarin as they require lots of live rock to support the pods that they feed on.

I don't know what a bassel is, but in my opinion you are overstocked in the fish department already. There are any number of inverts you can add for interest, however. How about a cleaner shrimp and a couple of Sexy Shrimp?

I would like to put more inverts as well but not sure what to get in that department as well

I think my cleaner shrimp is the most interesting thing in my tank. He will eat out of my hand, climbs onto my arm if I am doing maintainance and I watched him ride the yellow tang rodeo style last night. It was awesome! :D

+1 On the cleaner shrimp, they're a riot to watch. Mine actually pinches pretty hard when he's cleaning my hands/arms when I'm in the tank. He's made me check for blood once or twice, no harm done though it seems.
