Hello, I have a temperate tank set up for local fish in Southern California fish. I would like to intergrate some other fish (baja Mexico types maybe). I have slowly raised my water to 71-72 degrees from 66-68. Everyone is doing fine, as that is the top summer range around here (Catalina is my example water temperature).

What fish can handle the water temp at 70-72 degrees?

Thanks, Jason

Panda corys will thrive at that temp, but they dont really fit in in that tank, being from south america

I would google around for some cold saltwater ones. I've seen a few articles on them and some of them are spectacular. Hope your setup works out for you!

Great little fish!

Coldwater SW fish are not like coldwater FW fish. You can't just throw them in a tank at room temp.

Catalina gobies are very easy to care for a fairly hardy, providing you can provide a good temperature for them. You will need a chiller if you want to keep coldwater SW fish properly.
