I have a 180 gallon with a canopy with a medium diamond goby in it. I know the tank is plenty large, but I am curious if I would be ok adding a blue dot jawfish since they are both bottom dwelling sand sifters?
 
Also have a Sailfin tang, blue tang, clownfish, and a yellow corris wrasse in there, but I do not suspect them to show any aggression towards a blue dot jawfish
 
I have a diamond back goby and a sleeper blue dot goby in a 100 gallon tank and they get along fine. The Blue Dot Jaw fish is a pretty fish! I plan on getting one in the future.
 
Keep in mind that the Jawfish likes temps in the lower 70's and tends not to thrive at the same temps as the other fish you have.
To me, 65 to 70 is slightly better for them since they are cold water fish - Catalinas are similar in temperature preference.
 
That is news to me. Liveaquaria lists a recommendation of 72-78 degrees as the recommended temp range
For most other jawfish that would be okay - Yellow head, Red, Dusky jawfish ect.. but the blue spot is different and prefers a cold water tank longterm
