Hello,

I am new to this forum, used to be into acquaria in a big way but have been away from it for years.

I thought my next project might be a temperate/cool water tank so I have decided to build my system around Gulf of California species with Catalina Gobies (Lythrypnus dalli) as the centerpiece.

I have the advantage of starting my collection from scratch so can purpose-select species that are best-suited to a cool water tank.

Given that Catalinas need a cool environment (55~65 Deg. F), my question is: What other species (fish and inverts) are suited to that temperature range?

I would really appreciate input from anyone who has had success with these beautiful little fish.

Kind regards,

LM Thomson
