I currently have a 7 inch jade goby and I want to have a tankmate with him. I only need one tankmate due to size and stuff. I am deciding on 3 fish, a bluegill (one I want the most), cow goby or a flowerhorn. I know the bluegill likes more of a colder water but, they're tough fish. Which of these three would be better? Any ideas or other tankmate suggestions?

It ranges from Florida in the north, to Brazil in the south on the Atlantic side, and California to Ecuador including the Galapagos, on the pacific.
It colors and marking change according to terrain and foliage.

By the way, I keep mine with other Panamanian fish,
Andinoacara coerleopunctatus cichlids.

I will be very surprised if the Eleotris doesn't eat a number of its tank mates at some point in time.
