I'm going to move my catalina goby out of its current jarquarium and into an Evo. While the office that it's in is temperature-controlled at a steady 19-20C, I'll likely get a CXSC-1 chiller later this year. Or should I? I'd love to get a companion or two for the goby, but I'm struggling to find a suitable candidate that can thrive in these temperatures. I was set on getting a hulafish, but apparently ORA isn't shipping these to Canada.
Are there any fish commonly found in the trade that can thrive in these temps? I plan on lowering water temperature to 17 or 18C. I've heard many tragic stories about jawfish survivability, so am thinking that that will not be an option.
 
Other ones I can think of are ORA as well.

White spotted Pygmy filefish
Kamohara fang blenny

also margarita and Mexican turbos like colder water

Catalina gobies change sex so you could add a second for a pair.

There is a cold water marine aquarium group on Facebook and some venders there. They sometimes get in small fish.
 
I actually just put in a pygmy filefish into my IM40 a couple of weeks ago, so that's great! They're amazing fish -- I hope my local vendor gets more of them in from ORA.
