I have read, if you add a much smaller one, like you said, you can possibly have a good pairing. But, clowns are clowns.....
Props for the QT!

I think that is doable. The goby will probably hang out at the bottom, and won't be in anyone's way, maybe the mandarin, but you have a 75G, so they have plenty of room. I would wait for a few other opinions before you decide to buy.

I really dont see any problems either. Your tank seems to have a light bio load.
