An RGB image can have many more colours by mixing those red-green-blue values.
The best thing to do is change the gif to rgb before adding the RGB image Image -> Mode -> RGB
Thing to remember, the format used will be that of the original image.
Open an Indexed image, import a RGB and the result is Indexed.

Looks like you are making an animation, so work in RGB until all the editing is complete, then export as an animated gif and you will be back to indexed.
