Malachite Secretive Wrasse-DD?

[E.D.E]

Hello!
There's a fish on DD that has piqued my interest very much. It's a 200 dollar "Malachite Secretive Wrasse" juvenile. They used to have the adult on there, for four hundred dollars, but he's gone now. :c
From what the specifics say, it's from Japan, and it's used to 75 degree water. My tank is currently at 78. The tank has a Princess Parrotfish, (gentle) Dogface Puffer, Vlaminigi Tang, Falco Hawk, and 1 chromis. Does anyone here have any information on this fish? How do I get my water from 78 to 75 without hurting my fish? Could it GO in 78 degree water? If you need any other information, don't hesitate to ask. :bounce3:

I forgot to mention it's scientific name:
Pteragogus aurigarius.

If you look at the temperature range LA suggests, 75 degrees is the absolute high end. I wouldn't attempt to keep a fish that is better suited for temperate or sub tropical waters in tropical water temperatures.

I have absolutely no experience with the fish in question, but in general keeping fish from sub-tropical waters in tropical conditions can lead to drastically shorter life spans (ie. Garibaldi damsels, Catalina gobies, etc.) and/or an increased risk of bacterial infection. While it'd be fine for your other fish to live at 75 degrees, it would probably be too warm in the long term for that wrasse.

Just my 2 cents, but I wouldn't attempt to keep it unless you set up a tank with a dedicated chiller.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
I know of some other temperate fishes, like the ones you mentioned,
and how their lives are cut short due to warm water. Even though Diver's Den says it's maintained currently in 75 degree water, what you said made sense. And I guess 200 bucks is a bit much for a four inch fish. Oh wellsies...:spin2:
Thanks for the info btw!!
