Milky Way Galaxy,
Thought we could make a list of fish that can handle tropical temps (sub tropical) and Coldwater (sub coldwater) temps example gars. Here I'll go first,

Alligator Gar
60F-85F

Florida Gar
60F-85F

Marbled Gar
60F-85F

Won't do other gar types as I don't have much exp with them. Could we add pacu, oscars, guppies, Molly's, and mosquito fish to this list? Probably missing a whole bunch of other fish just post em up.

Most of the genus Gymnogeophagus, and Australoheros from southern South America can take 50-90, as long as there is a seasonal cool down.

I have kept all the above outside from May thru Oct, night water temps spring and fall, drop into the high 40sF, day temps in summer high 80s

The problem is I live in Europe..that for one means I don't know most of the english trivial names and the temps only in celsius..I'll convert them into fahrenheit but it will take a while.
 
Tanichthys albunobes 60-80°f
Corydoras paleatus 60-75°f
Poecilia sp. 60-85°f
