I don't think it's been mentioned yet, the blue spot jawfish is temperate to coldwater

Yes so that is something I am keeping in mind. I am skeptical on how it will do, as the fish might not be comfortable in 25 to 26 degree tank. Do you think I should try out another Jawfish instead? If so which one?

Bluespot jawfish actually do not like having busy tanks with lots of movement. They also like lots of sand bed and not much rock.

Now that you say that I’m hoping he will like the set up I have. He has a a 5” sand bed, and a 2’1/2 pvc pipe cave
with different chambers.

I meant 25 to 26 degrees in Celsius. I don’t want anyone to think I’m keeping a fish cooler lol

I’m going to tweak the list...again lol.
That list will change so many times as you add fish.

I wanted a yellow tang got a scopas
I wanted a melanarus wrasse got a xmass
I wanted 3 firefish have one now.
I wanted 3 cardinals was talked into one (smart decision in the end).
I had a bristletooth in QT and it died (am glad it did to tell ya the truth as my scopus is so peaceful)
Went through 2 leopard wrasses in 2 weeks in QT. Both dead now.
I didn’t want a Hawkfish but have a Hawkfish (thanks kids).
I hate clownfish and have 2 clowns.

I have 15 fish but I probably rehomed 10 in the process to find 15 that would get along in a 80g.

Hahaha. That sounds funny. I plan on not putting my leopard wrasse through QT, or any of the other sensitive fish though, as you can personally see, it didn't go well.

Yes, but if I upgrade the tank, ima need more equipment, more expensive equipment for that matter, and as you know, more fish

Just put some jeabos in it for flow and you already going to have the big skimmer in the budget anyways.. then put some noop lights over it ;)

I QT all my leopards, all my fish, they sailed through. I use hybrid TTM though. I also did prazi as leopards love to have flukes.
