Ive got 3 bumblebee gobys in with my gsp rite now. They have been getting along great. I Was wondering how many more i could put in a 30 gal tank with him?! thanks

If he is tolerating them, that is good, but that could change as he/she grows. How big is your GSP right now? Thirty gallons is the minimum space required for a full grown GSP, so if you do not plan on upgrading the tank, you shouldn't add more gobies.

The Bumblebees should not be taken to high specific gravity, either. They are light BW fish.

GSPs go to high brackish as adults, such as 1.016 - 1.022. The Bumble Bee Gobies are light brackish fish, such as 1.004 to 1.008. These fish require two very different environments as the GSP matures. You can always get a Figure Eight puffer and house the BBGs with him/her if you have a spare tank. It would only require a 20 gallon setup for that.
Thank you RTR for catching that.
